Re: Kim Gennaula says Aloha to KGMB and Hello to Kapiolani
CV's 1986 finale was indeed 98% news of the day, only a short 3-5 minute video tribute from staff with their final goodbye's with old clips and then a short closing statement.
Barbara Tanabe's finale in 1987 was similiar, mostly news and the last 5 minutes included clips from her career and Joe Moore coming on a rare weekend newscast to say goodbye to her and there were hugs and leis abound. The late Pat Patterson (sports) I think was the only other person on air that night.
Leslie Wilcox 1992 KGMB farewell was quick and short too.
Ditto on Bob Jones 1994 send off, difference then and now was they only devoted an X amount of time to the finale compared to Kim's sendoff. But it's yesterday's news, gone and over with already, I think someone who puts in 15 years with a station deserves a final on air goodbye, some people just have a problem with how long the goodbye should be. As someone suggested they could have done a half hour tribute to her that was only devoted to her farewell and then on the news they could have closed with a 5 minute goodbye.
In general is it me or do they not do farewell tributes to people when they leave the station and head to a competitor??
Irony of it all is the people complaining seemed to have watched a large chunk or it themselves when they could have changed the channel all along.
