KTVU's Ibanez to anchor noon news Monday; longtime sportsguy tells me first


After thirty-two years at KTVU doing sports, Mark Ibanez is about to do something Monday that he's never done before and he's told me exclusively.

"Your old buddy is going to be anchoring the noon news this Monday,MLK day…not the sports …the noon news…looking at it as a challenge and maybe something new in the future…..you never know….different things need to be tried sometimes to remain a survivor in this business as you know."

You might recall the late Gary Park, who spent over twenty years at KTVU, began his career there doing news; he ultimately switched to sports anchoring, so Ibanez' news trek should be interesting viewing.
