FRANK RODMAN recently retired from KQED-TV after 22 years of service as a master control engineer. Frank began his broadcasting involvement at the age of 15 as a sportscaster on a Merced radio station. The following years took him from KSAY, KKID, KRON-TV and KGO-TV to KQED-TV where he established himself as “Uncle Rod” to the more than 8,000 “kids”who called the station to talk to this unique master control engineer. “I told them that when they see their names on TV it means Uncle Rod loves them!”
