Shortest Emmy® Speech Will Win a Jet Ski (Getaway)
Good reason to be in your seat at the end of the Ceremony!
Awards shows are long. Even the Oscars show earlier this year made an attempt to shorten the show by offering a shiny new Jet Ski to the person with the shortest acceptance speech! Plus a stay at the Days Inn Lake Havasu…
Our Emmy® Awards show on Saturday, June 2nd is borrowing that idea: the shortest speech wins, not a jet ski — but a “Jet Ski Getaway” — at our own Lake Tahoe!
KPIX News Director Dan Rosenheim Retiring After 18 Years
Dan Rosenheim, who has served as vice president of news at San Francisco’s KPIX 5 for the last 18 years, is retiring from the station.
Rosenheim is retiring, and his last day will be July 6. He is amongst the longest-tenured news directors to work in Bay Area television.
Hawaii Volcano Coverage: Following the Fire
For me, covering the volcano has always been an amazing experience.
Understanding the destructive nature and the human toll Pele takes, it’s impossible not to marvel at the power and at the beauty and strength of the lava. Beyond that, there is something almost prehistoric about it, in that you’re watching Earth create itself right in front of your eyes. All that said, the dangers are very real — a point driven home when civil defense and fire officials warned on numerous occasions that people are “entering this area at your own risk.”

June 19 Luncheon Features Broadcast Legends
Television came to the Bay Area in the late 1940’s. It was a novelty. Tiny screens, some green in color. Tinny sound. Test patterns on the screen for most of the day. Little if any local programming.
By the late 1960s, it was maturing. Screens up to 36 inches in color with Hi Fi sound and all sorts of local programming, kids shows, local news shows of a half hour. And three TV networks plus a budding PBS. Cable was there to bring tv to those of us who lived behind hills.
Current, Former KRON-TV Staffers Have Big Reunion
It was in the words of many that night – an epic, historic reunion!
Nearly 170 former and current KRON-TV colleagues met on May 12 to hug, talk, take selfies and reacquaint after 20, 30 or 40 years apart.
Former KRON producer Jim Gaughran said it best in a Facebook post soon after the party. “Well, the KRON reunion was just a little overwhelming. Because there’s Pam and there’s Emerald and it’s Fragola and Karl and Jan Wahl and Suzanne Bergerac and OH MY GOD IT’S PAYMAR!,” Gaughran said.
