KFYI Studio Empty as Dudeboss Panics

[headphonejack]

KFYI staff pissd at management after their own coverage of helicopter crash. News people openly complaining about how slicing the news team left them with no one to cover the story. Dudeboss couldn't even find anyone in the building to host the coverage. News people pissd they had to take Fox10 coverage for two hours while dudeboss panicked looking for someone to put in the studio. The staff had to wait until a replacement host showed up.

Yeah, they got caught with their pants down.

It was good to hear Liebo though.

That's what you get when you cost cut.

I almost never even listen to KFYI anymore, an hour of Barry in the morning until Dennis Miller comes on.

Now that Hendrie is on, I don't listen to coast to coast anymore either.

The once might KFYI is no longer relevant in the Phoenix news scene, this easily proves it. Its a shame, but you can get news faster on the internet than on a local "news" station!

I'm curious to know why "Dudeboss" just didn't go into the studio himself. At some point in his career he had to have had some on air experience. In the very least, he could have "anchored" KFYI's simulcast of their TV partner's audio - coming in and out with station ID's, re-sets, etc...plus he could have taken calls from eyewitnesses and/or gotten updates from whatever reporters they may have had available, again wrapping this around the TV audio. There are a lot of ways he could have played this and while it may not have been ideal, it could have worked out fine. In fact, even if they didn't have any actual reporters this would have worked. Most people couldn't have cared less hearing a Fox 10 reporter over a KFYI reporter. In fact, the only ones who notice are the Junior PD's who populate these boards. Like me!

The dudeboss's plan backfired on him. He's been talking tough lately, how KFYI was the best news station in the valley and how they would stick it to KTAR. Now everyone on his staff is royally pissed about how they sounded so bad compared to KTAR. The whispering about him being in over his head has turned into out loud talk.

Things haven't been this bad at KFYI in years. The place is collapsing.

One bad book and the station is collapsing? That's like saying "Babe Ruth struck out one time, therefore he's no good".

BTW, just turned on KTAR, and Ded Simons was breathlessly exhaling about how "KTAR is is the ONLY local station covering the bridge disaster"

If by you mean covering putting the microphone up to MSNBC, well, I guess so.

More self congratulatory back patting by TMISU.

McBland may be boring, but he's taught Ded Simons and TMISU the fine art of shilling! Nurse Jeff and I can't wait to hear the promo that sez we're keeping the bridge victims in our hearts and prayers. Oh, c'mon! :'(

 

[obi-one]

that "less is more" thing just isn't working. :-\

Newsflashes:

legend city hates KTAR.

akbar is back.

the same six people saying the same six things about the same six stations.

we know. we know.

Excuse me, I have been effusive in praise for KTAR in regards to getting Hendrie on, and having Kid on, and how they handled his departure.

Right now, KTAR is a better station to listen to than KFYI, I just tune out Aunt Carlos, Ded Simons and McBland, on KFYI, I tune out Rush, Sean, Savage and Coast to Coast.

As for your statement, it itself is repetitive.

Add some light, not some heat.
