Redding CA. A few technologically challenged?
OK Everyone has heard the old computer joke that goes something like this:
Compaq is considering changing the command “Press Any Key” to “Press Return Key” because of the flood of calls asking where the “Any” key is.
Some locals here in Redding, CA. will be familiar with two, of many, media outlets who could benefit from a bit of helpful criticism.
One Television news channel had a young Man? who has the most exaggerated “Gay” sounding voice with a bad lisp I believe he is gone now and replaced with another San Francisco native who is not quite as bad. This man? made it almost impossible for me to watch, or even listen to this channel because of his sickening voice and ugly face, I mean come on this guy? is on television? He has the face made for radio and the voice made for the spokesman for Gay Pride Parade weekly!
The Local Television news channels, here in Redding, are getting better all the time. If anyone from channel 7 news reads this, please let KQMS news radio know who does your website….. They REALLY need the help.
Speaking of KQMS News Radio:
I am sure Redding locals are familiar with KQMS Radio 1400 AM. Have you seen their crappy website? (http://www.kqms.com/) Who designed this piece of internet pollution? Most of it does not even work, it is off-center so, apparently, a faded background image of tiled flags can be seen? it is full of advertisement banners all of different sizes, It has a fixed width, for what resolution, I have no idea, and it looks like an autistic
blind 5-year-old typing with his elbows, tried to build it. Furthermore the photos of the syndicated show personalities must be at least 10 years old. Ever hear of updating???
Good Grief people if you insist on keeping a bunch of hillbillies running the station, at least get a decent website. How many times do you need to have dead air for 5 minutes at a time at night before you hire someone who does not fall asleep while they are supposed to be running the station overnight? While sleeping so sound, they can’t answer the phone so someone can tell them….HEY!!! You have Dead Air!! There are countless voice over ad mistakes and multiple commercials that run on top of each other so you get “Stereo Gibberish” The station manager must be on a continuous high.
Now, on to one employee, in particular, named Erin Meyers. This girl, Erin, has the most depressing and drawn out boring way of reading the news reports, I have ever heard. She reports in a way reminiscent of past day Communist news reporters. There is no emotion in her monotone voice. What a depressing way of reading the news. I have heard her speak and interact on air, other than reading the news, and it is not that much better. Who does the hiring there? and Why??? Are you all related? or do you just work really cheap?
Have you people ever heard of answering your emails? I am sure that you have plenty of time as it is obvious that you do not have to prepare yourselves for anything you do there. It all seems like “Off the cuff” and really bad improvisation. Erin, quit talking over the show intros… You drag out K……….Q………….M…………S wayyyyyy too long and go over.
Other than that, the syndicated shows you do air, are pretty good.
Have a nice day!
