The Mystery Continues; Anchor Elaine Corral's Sudden On-Air Exit from KTVU

ALMOST TWO DECADES ago, former KTVU anchor, Elaine Corral, resigned--on air no less. Co-workers were stunned and caught off guard.

There was no official reason given and Corral herself never went into any detail(s) as to why she quit. Even longtime KTVU staffers, including many on-air veterans were SHOCKED and jad no idea what was behind Corral's sudden departure. After her resignation, she left the studio at KTVU. Some rumor about her want to get equal pay (what Dennis Richmond was making) made the rounds but it was NOT the reason she had left. To this day, nobody knows. And even more mysteriously, Corral hasn't spoken and a few station vets, who might know the specifics, haven't said a word.

Industry speculation was rampant but nothing concrete was put forth. There were stories that Corral may have been the recipient of workplace sexual harrassment but again, she never talked nor offered any detail as to why she left so suddenly. And Corral today, who lives in the Eastbay, has remained tight-lipped about what prompted her to leave, on the air no less. Adding to the mystery: Corral signed a SUPER TIGHT confidentiality agreement. The agreement maintained if she spoke, it would be null and void.

My own research is on-going. We haven't heard the full story. Meaning YOU haven't heard the full story.
