Oregon Media Insiders

Doing a 95.5 show wouldn't necessarily mean leaving KATU.

Colin Cowherd did both his radio and TV gigs simultaneously for years.

Katy Brown is no Colin Cowherd

OMGWTF!!! This is like an apocalypse in local broadcast world! :~(

struck me as someone who has the personality to be a "radio personality"... this could be real bad.

I have no idea whether this rumor is true or not, but I hope it is.

Katy Brown is a talented professional. In my dealings with her over the years I have come to respect her work a great deal. I think she would be a great talk host.

Colin, as well, is a remarkabe talent. What is it that makes som folks want to tear down successful people?

I hope to see Katy over at Rose City Radio.

She was on KFXX at least once sitting in for someone, and I thought she did a pretty good job.

Not being Colin Cowherd is not neccessarily a bad thing.

The WW report was weak. I mean, how much work does it take to make a few simple calls? The only thing I learned from that report is how disconnected WW is from the media who cover the city? Are you telling me that the best WW could do is throw out a rumor and get a bunch of no-comments?

We all know this is going to happen. It's the worst-kept secret in the city. Katy Brown and Kenny Vance will move to 95.5, and the station flips to all-sports and Canzano's Baldie show will probably go to afternoon drive if 95.5 wants to win big

An all-local sports show vs. The Fan won't be close. 95.5 will win this going away. Then, WW will accuse Rose City Radio of discriminating against black radio stations or something ludicrious like that because it dropped the Playhouse.

I'm not surprised by the news here, I'm surprised that WW threw this out there without being able to connect a single dot. Jeezus do they do any reporting there?

Katy and Kenny will be terrific on the air there if this is true.

What a great mix. It's about time we got a female voice in the local sports radio. Kudos to Katy and KATU for recognizing the value of this crossover promotion.

I suppose there's a reason Rose City Radio would want to hire Katy Brown --- because she's good at what she does. There isn't another female sports voice in the market that is worth giving a show to. That's a testament to Katy's good work. I'll listen to her show if this is true. Now, is it true? Someone clear up the rumors.

Why do you care if a radio host is male or female?

Let's not forget that Katie first came to KATU as a meteorologist. What is her background as someone covering sports? Does she have any credibility?

on the air here for about a decade and has made little or no impact. Katu has been third or fourth in the ratings during that entire time
