KTVU Weekend anchor/reporter, Ken Wayne, is one of the more underrated tonsils on the Bay Area airwaves. He's pretty good too, with a solid, steady delivery and no-nonsense approach-- part of the ultra-successful Channel 2 business model.
Acknowledge the fact that since I have written about how good you are, you're life has changed. Rich, since you've written such great things about me, my life has taken a dramatic change. I get the best tables at all the great SF restaurants, (no reservations), Willie Brown wants me to be his wingman, and news directors across the country are trying to get me out of my contract. It's all because of you. Thanks.
Are you that unassuming off the air or is it pretty much low-key 24/7? I'm pretty mellow. But I have my moments. Hayward PD put me in hand cuffs a few years ago because I was getting ticked off about a bogus crime scene tape they put up to keep cameras away. I've found when things are starting to spin out of control, at work or in life, it's better to try to slow down and take stock of things before doing something rash. I've been known to ignore my own advice.
Do you ever eat tofu? I prefer my tofu fried in a spicy chili sauce.
Everyone OK over at Jack London Square? I'd say all in all everything's pretty peachy at JLS. We know what's going on at other stations and the changes we've had to make here at Channel 2. We fight the good fight when we're able. When you consider the options you have to decide to go with the changes, or get off the bus. Most of us are staying on the bus as long as we can.
Why do you read 415 Media? I read 415 Media because you say nice things about me. If you didn't, I'd say you were a two-bit hack who didn't know squat. Instead, I think you're a frickin' genius.
