KRON4's Anchors

[1069_KIFR]

Are KRON4's On-Air Personalities constantly looking for other stations for work?
It just seems like they are wasting the best years of their careers 'stuck' at KRON.

I wonder, can they not find any better respectable stations to work at or are they
content with where they are and have a really good contract to keep them there.

Most of the on-the-street reporters flew the coop for other stations years ago.  Channels 2, 5, 7, and 11 are full of former-veteran KRON reporters.

I figure the good or popular anchors who stayed (Pam Moore, Radnich, etc.) are the few that have lucrative contracts - so they don't mind too much that they're delievering an inferior product to a small (and shrinking) audience.

KRON can go LPTV or defunct if the ratings don't improve.

Maybe there could be a good chance Tribune ( owner of WGN & many other CW stations) might be interested buying channel 4.

Isn't the Tribune Corp in bankruptcy? I'm not sure they're in a position to be buying anything, much less a money-sucking sinkhole like KRON.  To be fair, I believe Tribune's problems are because newspapers are dying, not because their broadcast properties are losing money.

I was born and raised in SFO and to hear what a pit KRON has become is sad, just sad.

Not only can you HEAR what a pit KRON has become, you can actually SEE what a pit KRON has become!

More on that possibility - there is speculation that Tribune might be selling WGN, and some of their other broadcast properties, as they emerge from bankruptcy.  I wouldn't look for them to come to the rescue of KRON anytime soon.  The interested buyer (Hubbard Broadcasting) was very careful to say that they have no interest in Tribune's newspapers.

When I read your post, I thought maybe Tribune would want a station in SF. But then I re-read it and thought maybe Hubbard would want to have a station in SF. So maybe Hubbard will go on a buying spree. They would have stations in NY, Chicago and SF!!!
