More TV and Radio Updates

Jeremy Levy back with you again to tell you about some TV and radio updates that I had missed.In a past blog post I have talked about when I was the Easter Seals Poster Child when I was 5 years old. As the poster child I was on their telethon on channel 2 news. One of the hosts of this was Dave Young. Dave has been with fox 31 news and Channel 2 news for a long time almost 30 years. This past December Dave retired from channel 2 news and from fox 31 news. Congratulations to you Dave. I enjoyed you on the telethon when I was the poster child. Also, Nick Carter has left fox 31 news last year as well. Nick Carter is living in Colorado Springs and doing weather on the weekends on ABC tv in Colorado Springs KRDO TV. Congratulations to you Nick. I will miss you on KDVR tv.I have learned from an article by Terry Terrones in Colorado Springs that Mike Larson, the general manager of KRDO TV, has left for personal reasons. KRDO is owned by ABC and I have been reading from 2 sources Mike Mc Guff, and Robert Feder that some layoffs are taking place at stations across the country. There has been no replacement named yet. That might be the reason why he is left the station.David Nancarrow has left KKTV Tv in Colorado Springs. He has become the managing director of the Falcon School district. The replacement for him is Adam Atchison. Congratulations to you Adam. Adam has previously worked at the station- so it is a return for him.I have a correction to make about Kendall Bee. Kendall Bee is on 107.1 radio doing mornings instead of 107.9 radio.A lot of the Denver Post staff have been let go. I will really miss Joanne Ostrow with the Denver Post. Joann had a wonderful take on different radio and TV topics.Kyle Dyer, from Channel 9 News, has started a website where she has started telling people’s stories like what Lois Melkonian was doing with the Angels with Shoes blog. Good luck to Kyle with this new venture.March 15th, Lewis and Logan are broadcasting from a house to benefit Children’s Hospital. They are really doing something nice for the community. I enjoyed their interview with the Spoke’s kid for Children’s hospital. This is a fun remote for KOA to be a part of.On KOA radio, Corey Lopez is broadcasting live from Spring Training for the Rockies spring training this week. This is a lot of fun and I really think the Rockies are going to have a great season this year. Corey Lopez hosts prime time sports from 7-8 o’clock on KOA 850 a.m. and 94.1 fm. Corey is now the sports director of KOA radio. Corey is one of my favorite radio personalities to listen to because of his gentle voice and his gentle personality.This week March 19-23 Ed Green has been filling in for April Zesbaugh on Colorado’s morning news from 5-10 AM. Ed is showing that he has some great news anchoring abilities. Ed has been doing weather on CBS 4 KCNC TV.Speaking of Sports radio Altitude sports radio 950 has been doing a fun contest for March Madness. I have been hearing on the Mark Moser show he gives the caller a question. It could be an Avalanche question or a rock music question and if the caller gets it right then the producer gives them a team to root for. I really think Altitude sports radio is trying to get the listener more involved. Good effort on their part.Vic Lombardi and Kathy Sabine have been announced as the new voices for the Denver Zoo.On 104.3 the fan did videos on their website about the best signings for the Denver Broncos. The staff did a wonderful job breaking down the best signings. This is great for the station when it is a slow time right now. I got this information from Jason Barrett’s sports media blog. This is a great source of information about sports radio. .Also, the DIA train voices have been announced. One of them is a hold over in Alan Roach. The other one is Kim Kristiansen of KUSA tv 9 news. Congratulations to Kim and Alan.Over the next couple of weeks on KNUS Peter Boyles is taking a vacation. Craig Silverman and Steffan Tubbs are going to be filling in for him. Randy Corporan filled in last Friday for Peter and will be filling in for Steffan Tubbs from 4-7 on KNUS April 9-14. These hosts are really fun to listen to.Thanks for tuning in.Jeremy Levy
