Earlier this week, KSBI OK Sports Wrap anchor Abigail Ogle — Yes, that Abigail Ogle — posted to her Facebook wall this edgy radio promotion:
Ignore real quick that KSBI was able to “cram in” a year’s worth of sexual puns and innuendos in a 30 second commercial, what I want to know is if anyone else is freaked-out that an Ogle brother’s daughter is posting sexually suggestive commercials on her Facebook wall!?! That’s just weird. The only thing weirder is that Abigail Ogle is a sports anchor. Dear God, I’m getting old. Before you know it, KSBI is going to hire one of Gary England’s grandkids to be a storm chaser.
Anyway, I went over to KSBI to see if their sports report really is “30 penetrating minutes of sports analysis” and “10 times the pleasure, three times a week.” Here’s the most recent episode:
I’m not sure why, but I’ve always kind of liked Andrew Speno. He seems like a good dude, has been around the market for a while, and even pissed of Steve Largent during the (has it really been 10 years?) 2002 gubernatorial campaign.
Because of all that, I was sad to see that Andrew Speno was forced to apologize to the dozens of KOKH Channel 25 FOX News at 9:00 viewers for comments he made on Thursday night’s broadcast. Here’s the apology. You can watch the video of it at the Fox 25 website. It’s kind of awkward:
I apologize to anyone offended by the remarks I made about Whitney Houston during the FOX 25 Primetime News at Nine on March, 8, 2012. My intent was not to offend but I now see the context in which my comment was taken by many of our viewers. During that segment, we sometimes make fun of celebrities but I can see how my comment about Whitney Houston, so soon after her death, was in poor taste. I hope each of you will continue to watch our newscast. I respect your opinions and each viewer’s value as part of our community.
If you ever need to contact me with questions or feedback, feel free to email me directly at aspeno@okcfox.com.
You’re probably wondering what Speno said about Whitney Houston to evoke such outrage from people who forgot to change the channel after watching American Idol and the new hit FOX series Touch. This is what we heard happened from a few Ogle Moles who watched it live.
Last week Channel 25′s morning show Joe Gumm’s Super-Happy Funhouse sent Christal Bennett to something called “DW’s Exotic Animal Park” in Weatherford. At first I thought they were talking about DW’s porn store just south of the border, but it turns out DW’s Animal Park and DW’s porn store are very different things. Who knew!?
Anyway, things were going fine for Christal Bennett until some guy decided to surprise her by putting a snake around her neck. Her reaction was, well, see for yourself:
If you enjoy watching old Radio Shack commercials on YouTube and remember when Shepherd Mall was still a mall, then you’ll probably enjoy this old photo of the KOCO Channel 5 news team from the late 1980s.
The first three things that stick out when I look at that picture are the fact that Mike Morgan really hasn’t aged, the main guy in the photo – Tom McNamara — is now the least identifiable or relevant person in the group, and Jack Bowen (far back) appears to be pinching Gerry Bonds ass.
Anyway, lets break down this ancient relic from the past in more detail after the jump:
Originally, my plans were to write a post reminding everyone that the Thunder’s Brian Davis is a terrible play-by-play announcer who makes up facts and doesn’t understand the nuances of the game. In the post, I was going mention how Brian Davis’ suckiness made me feel sorry for his cohort Grant Long. I was then going to write something about how Kelly Crull applies her make up with an industrial strength paint sprayer.
But…I decided to forgo all that brilliant commentary when I stumbled across this thing of beauty. It’s Grant Long’s creepy Twitter avatar:
