Yesterday there was a Newsworthy event in my area and a reporter from KRON on the scene. There was no satelite van, and no Camera Man either, The reporter turned on the camera and ran it herself. Her Micrphone didn't even have a Mic Flag. Any Thoughts?

The Sad state of KRON
- Thread starter travisl5678
- Start date
KRON has been using "VJs"for a few years now. Yes it's sad , but nothing new. The vast stupidity and and miscalculation of Young Broadcasting's buying and operating KRON must be a broadcast legend by now.
After KRON 4 left the peacock network (NBC) it went downhill very fast. Their newscast is the worst rated in the bay area. It has lower numbers than the Cantonese Newscast on KTSF 26. Their program sucks, is there anything to watch besides MYTV Network and paid program. Don't get me started with infomercials running between newscast or Product endorsement programs like Bay Area's Bargaining.

Wilson (RIP) saw the writing on the wall - he was out the door (to KGO-TV) shortly after Young took over, and just before the remaining contract with NBC ran out. As I remember, Tokuda left soon after, though Sinkovitz stayed on for a couple of years.
What I can't figure out is why a good anchor like Pam Moore is still there. She's probably doing OK financially - I imagine they pay her well, but you'd think she'd have an opportunity somewhere else.

Lets not forget Vic Lee he was out the door too from KRON to KGO too. around 2006. Also I remember Don Knapp left too. I wonder why is Gary Radnich and Heenan still there at a dead station like KRON.

Radnich has always had a couple of gigs going outside KRON, though, even when they were still with NBC, like the KNBR show, hosting Giants and 49ers postgame on CSN.
KRON will be carrying NBC programming this season while the Giant's games are on KNTV. The first NBC show will air at 8PM tomorrow night March 11th. I believe the name of the NBC show is
