BELVA DAVIS and DON SANCHEZ RETIRING--
Belva Davis and Don Sanchez, both Bay Area TV veterans are retiring.
Davis spent over four decades reporting for various SF TV News outlets. In 1966, when, racial barriers began to fall, she became the first black woman hired as a television news reporter in the western United States.
Her work landed numerous awards and she garnered universal industry acclaim. Davis had stints at KRON, KPIX, and most notably, KQED.
Sanchez began at KGO-TV in 1972 and has worked the gamut across the board. A general assignment reporter, he later added the duty of sportscaster on the weekend newscasts as well as the news at 5, 6 and 11 p.m.
We wish both of these giants good luck in the future.
