Media Notes

Ryan Fox will take over for Ginny Harman on KKGO, Go Country 105, starting on Monday morning. He is a big country DJ in Dallas who seems to be pretty well known. Thank goodness. Ginny Harman and Ashley Paige drove me crazy in the morning. It was like an estrogen party every morning that I could not listen to. Ashley Paige will still be on the show, and should be great since she is good at playing devils advocate instead of agreeing with everything the other DJ says, like Harman.

Speaking of GoCountry, they now have a food truck. They are bragging they are the first radio station in the country to have one. Shouldn't they focus on music? I can't say I have much desire to try the food.

Sean Murphy still has not found a damn suit jacket. Its winter! And something about the way he dresses, perhaps the Dockers pants just looks so tacky. And many times he wears combinations of shirts and pants that just don't look good.



KTLA has a slew of new reporters including this dude from Sacramento. Originally it seems he is from the New Orleans and has a deep southern drawl at times and that seems to go with his overdramatizing every story. Oh, and his eyes are pretty eerie to watch.



Elizabeth Espinosa of KTLA was also voted off of "Your OWN Show" on Friday night. She was competing for her chance for her own show on the OWN, Oprah Network.

KABC 7 has a new reporter named Elex Michaelson. Usually I like the new hires at ABC 7, but this guy is pretty bad. His bias is evident in many stories, such as one he did about the Mosque in Temecula a few weeks back. Oh, and his hair/facial gestures/cutesyness/opinions in some stories are awkward.



Mike Nolan is no longer doing traffic in the mornings on KOST, which is weird, as he has been on the station for nearly 20 years. He can still be found on KFI in the mornings. Rosie Redell is taking his place and doing the news on the station.

Karen Carson, who voicetracked (prerecorded her show for Los Angeles from New York) on KOST 103.5 is gone. Rumor is that KOST is looking for another Clear Channel DJ somewhere around the country to voicetrack their show on KOST.

Evelyn Erives from 991 KGGI is back on the radio days after having her baby, broadcasting live from her house. You can watch her on the baby cam.

And Jillian Barberie Reynolds is now a singer. My life is complete. Well, technically she did sing "Landslide" with Natalie Maines from the Dixie Chicks at Howard Stern's wedding.
