San Diego’s News and Talk Station KOGO has failed two weekends in a row. They dropped the ball on reporting about the advancement and the victories of the Chula Vista Little League team. As I ear witnessed Sunday night, the 9 p.m. news was from FOX News, FOX Entertainment before breaking to the sports report that included a golf and Padres update. The Chula Vista team’s victory was earlier in the afternoon and there was not a sentence on it. Just like the week prior, there was no report about the local sluggers in their quest for the Little League World Serie. No updates, no hint that they were playing. Classic fail to the News and Talk Station.

This would not have happened last year when there was a staffed news room. The audience is listening and expects more especially when it’s a local story gone good nationwide.

“Get the latest news from San Diego’s only News and Talk station.” #fail.

Kimberly King returns to TV today. The former reporter at NBC San Diego can be found as the morning weather specialist at KFMB-TV 8.

Jeff and Jer made the rounds on San Diego TV last Friday. As the pieces to the puzzle fall into place ….

* Chances of a move to KFMB-FM are about zero
* Jeff and Jer were holding the family together
* While indicating there are talking to several radio stations, the Showgram officially remains under contract until next Monday
* JeffandJer.com remains the focal point for official releases from the morning show.
