Groundbreaking Journalist Belva Davis Dies at 92 | KQED
Davis, a legend of Bay Area journalism, was the first Black woman to be hired as a TV journalist on the West Coast.
Here’s more details on Belva Davis time on Bay Area TV. She had roles on KPIX, KRON and KQED as anchor/reporter.
Here are some of the highlights when she was on TV in San Francisco.
Also Belva Davis was on the radio at one point when she started in broadcasting. They include stints at KSAN, KNEW and KDIA. Rip to a Bay Area Legend.
She was legendary, the first Black TV reporter on the West Coast and a mainstay of local journalism. I remember her best for hosting KQED's This Week in Northern California. She started out at KSAN, then a small AM station in the Bay Area, and worked her way up. I can't overstate what an impact she had on Bay Area journalism.
More on Belva Davis from KTVU...where she made her first TV appearance in 1963.
