News Flash Exclu: Wayne Freedman is Retiring from Circle7 (KGO)

One of my ABC7 spies has just told me veteran reporter, Wayne Freedman, he of the 57 Emmys and numerous industry awards, will announce his RETIREMENT any moment now.

Freedman, a MULTI-DECADE GSA Repoter, has seen it all, done it all. He was so fond of his numeous Emmys, he placed them in his garage. I'm not kidding.

Freedman has covered politics, religion, breaking Bay Area news, fires, earthquakes, really just about everything on the docket. You make it here under a slew of news directors and business models, you've done something right.

Enjoy some freedom, WayneBo.You deserve it.
