Check out Channel 9′s unintentionally-funny response to Channel 4′s Obama interview…
Feb 22
2013
Yesterday, KFOR aired Kevin Ogle’s much hyped interview with President — and Oklahoma anti-Christ — Barack Obama. I was going to share and link to the interview here, but KFOR has removed the embed feature from their online videos. So screw them. Here’s a better video instead:
Yeah, that’s much more entertaining.
In all honesty, Kevin Ogle’s interview wasn’t that bad. He asked a few softball questions about gas prices and guns and found a way to talk about the Thunder. The best part, though, was the beginning. Frankenogle was so damn tall that they had to delay the interview to adjust the cameras! This gave the President and the Ogle-In-Chief time to awkwardly discuss Kevin’s playing days at Kansas State. You could tell that Kevin’s ridiculously tall stature took the President by surprise. Throughout the interview, he gave Kevin the same “Holy Shit!” -look that thousands of Oklahomans have made whenever seeing the news anchor out an about, and especially at concerts, movie theaters and Thunder games.
Not to be outdone by Channel 4′s interview with the President, Channel 9 landed their own exclusive sweeps week interview. Check it out:
News9.com – Oklahoma City, OK – News, Weather, Video and Sports |
From Commander In Chief to Grandfather In Charge, President George W. Bush is going to be a granddad!
The former president is looking forward to his first grandchild this Spring. And on Thursday, News 9′s Amanda Taylor caught up with mom-to-be Jenna Bush Hager and her twin sister Barbara here in Oklahoma City.
No, Amanda Taylor didn’t suddenly jump ship and begin working with the Onion. Channel 9′s serious answer to Kevin Ogle’s interview with the President was a sit-down with the Bush daughters. I guess they ran out of Oklahoma country music stars from Nashville to profile. Apparently the mud baby had the night off.
Seriously, that’s just embarrassing. If your main competitor is interviewing the President, don’t air an interview with George Bush’s daughters the same night. It makes you look sad and desperate. It would be like learning that your best friend is dating Kate Upton, and then as a response, you try to one up him by taking out the Olsen twins…in daylight. It’s just a massive fail. They should have gone the Channel 5 route and ignored sweeps all together. I think they showed pictures of Paul Folger’s herb garden or something. You’re better off not trying than making a fool out of yourself.
Patrick, I feel your pain, I’ve came to realization that the Local News is really not intended for “normal people” and therefore being somewhat normal I never understand. They create these shows for people that their top priorities are:
1.) The weather, 2.) Free storm shelters, groceries, gas, 3.) The weather, 4.) The Thunder, 5.) Lost/injured animals, 6.), any local story involving a theft of church, little league, senior citizen centers equipment, 7.) The weather 8.) Any interview with a local College coaching legend or Local Country Music star 9.) Any person wronged by a local corrupt general contractor 10.) Real news.
It’s my fault for expecting their to ever be a real newscast, face the News isn’t as sexy as the weather and that list above………….oh and to prove my point I think they all have a manual that explains to the on-site reporters how to always interview the person with…….the least amount of teeth, the worst dressed, the one with a wondering eye, and one that has at least 17 dogs and 6 broken down vehicles in the background…………….just sayin……….
That’s so true. A sad and desperate measure indeed.
Laugh all you want, but News 9 won the ratings by more than 4 points. People here at KFOR are pissed. Whole thing riding on a liberal president. Imagine that it didn’t work.
I guess I would laugh at the fact anybody would give a rat’s ass about a ratings war 4 pt victory between two OKC TV stations…They seem to run the same commercials in the same time slots so apparently neither the Edmond Huyndai Man or the Mathis Bro/Son/Metrosexual give a shit either…..
hahahahaha……..This is so freakin true, I can just hear the News9 Sales force “Now listen, you guys are gonna have to pony up a little bit more for your Norman Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge spot, we kicked the Dogsh*t outta KFOR by 4 points (I can explain it if you need it) and don’t even bring up KOCO and that ghost town KOKH, get your checkbook out”

Sh!t, I meant that as a reply to Doc. This will be my last off-the-mark post. I swear.
I could never understand why CBS is so popular nationwide. They absolutely kill on the ratings with mediocre shows. And all their best shows are past their primes. Good thing I’m not a TV exec.
“We seen it comin over the trailer and it sounded jes like a freight train…” Believe ol Kevin was a little nervous…but he done good! Was fun to watch. While he did not find no 17 dogs he did apparently find the First Dog.
Who Knew? Who Knew? ( in my best Barry Trammel voice) that a current prez in office will beat two of the former prez’s daughters, ala, Dos Bush?
I did see that at the same time KOKH was running an interview with the McCain Brothers……………………….not, LOL
Hmmm, Amanda Taylor and two bushes??? I’m watching that every time . . .
Inverted landing strip? Kinky!
Local news is for people who don’t internet. It’s also one of the reasons why hick accents are still a thing in this state.

The local news in OKC is extremely right wing leaning. Glad to hear that KFOR got out of their right wing seat long enough to interview the President!
