KGO-KRON SSA On Screen; Vic Lee Holds KRON Mike

The KRON-KGO SSA (Shared Services Agreement) might have begun in earnest Friday night.


Last evening on the 5pm newscast, KGO had a tease for a story coming up at six by Vic Lee.  The video was shot from behind Lee as he walked...holding TWO flagged mikes....one with the circle 7 and the other...wait for it...KRON.


Looks like the shared services agreement means sharing staff, too.

  1. C'mon man. In those media gang bangs it's routine to help out another station by holding their mic out of courtesy. Especially if one station only sent a camera and no reporter.

    Nothing to see here.

    1. I've worked in the biz 20 years and there is no such "common courtesy."

      You're full of it.

  2. If so this would be great, whereby KGO and KRON could cut cost and maximize profit. That is their goal you know as private companies. Folks have choices to tune in or not.

  3. Anyone else see the lower third ticker on KRON yesterday morning that had the words "Fucking Bullshit"? Hilarious.

  4. Speaking of "fucking bullshit", and related matters, I see the Bring Back Erica Kato petition is approaching 200 now. I don't know how the fire Pero petition it doing.

  5. I don't know why the Disney doesn't just buy KRON and get it over with.

    1. Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

  6. Variety certainly isn't the spice of life in the media business these days. Go cheap or go home.
