Ellen was a direct employee of KNEW and they had a recent layoff a few months back.
She was just hired for a newly created full-time evening position (at Metro) and it's not just KSFO, there is also Sirius traffic and Air America radio news. She worked for Shadow years before and also worked at Traffic Pulse in Emeryville.
Back in the old Sacramento days back home she was news director at K-108 when it was Mellow Rock (before Arrow-108 and The End) and later woked at KFBK.
K-108 was really a great station in its time and those were the days when an FM station had its own news department. It's a sign of the times that those days are gone.
