KTVU anchor/reporter,
Claudine Wong, went to station management weeks before the debut of the Fox outlet's new "
Mornings on Two Weekend" with a firm ultimatum: "
If I don't get that job, I'm outta here," according to a reliable broadcast source close to the Oakland-based station.
Wong, a Bay Area native who has been at Channel 2 for nearly eight years, (she was a summer intern in 1995,) co-anchors "MO2 Weekend" with
Mike Mibach and enjoys a legion of fans, especially those who are men between the ages of 25 and 54.
"Mornings on Two Weekend" debuted January 22 and runs from 7-9 AM with a steady stream of massive story counts, (which has ticked off editors and producers.) Its ratings have been mixed thus far, with very little competition from other outlets in the market.

WORD on The Street has it that Mike Mibach, will co-anchor the new 4 PM KTVU News beginning next month with recent hire, Keba Arnold. Nothing is 100% certain but I'm told a formal announcement is coming soon.
