Exclusive: Marla Tellez Leaving NBC Bay Area; Popular KNTV Anchor Going to Fox KTTV LA Station

People Moves:

My KNTV insider has told me that Marla Tellez is headed to LA's KTTV, the Fox station in LA.

VP/GM Kevin Hale told his staff that Tellez will join "Good Day--LA" on January 6 and a source close to both stations confirmed it to me.

Tellez has been on the radar for several weeks by LA station big suits. She's a Bay Area native and the move to the Southland will no doubt elevate her morning primetime status.

Up and Comer: NBC Bay Area's Marla Tellez Brightens The Morning; Thursday Starter

 Marla Tellez is KNTV's (NBC Bay Area) morning 11 AM anchor and host of its morning news show, "Today in the Bay." I've been watching Tellez for quite some time and wondered aloud why she hasn't become a star. Not that Tellez needs evening primetime to legitimize her journalistic TV wares but she's sort of under the radar.

When you show a lot of local TV news vigor you tend to catch the eye of the network honchos and word on the street is Tellez certainly more than capable to report on the national scene. Tellez  is a two-time Emmy award winner.  Her first came in 2006 for "Outstanding Achievement, Education Program" for a 30-minute show she produced on alternative fuels.  She earned her second Emmy for "Outstanding Achievement, Arts/Entertainment Program" for "Six Degrees of Love," a true Bay Area love story.

Beyond body of work, Tellez has a personality too. That's good. Often times ego has a way of permeating the entire human TV torso--Tellez is a sure-fire winner for the San Jose NBC O and O. If you haven't seen her, take a look. I promise you quality viewing time, seriously I do.

A Lunchtime Chat With NBC Bay Area's Marla Tellez

Speaking to Marla Tellez from NBC Bay Area on her way to the Giants game...


Pithy questions from me: A. Marla, what are you having for lunch: "uh, probably the crab sandwich, a Stella beer and a bag of peanuts."

B. Do you eat tofu? "OMG, it's funny you mentioned that, I love tofu!" I think she was eating it in the car.  (This is not good.)

C. Are you single? Just curious. "Yeah." (hum baby!)

D. Obviously, you like baseball: "I LOVE baseball!" (OK, dumb question from me but in the course of my history of hard-hitting journalism, I occasionally go rogue.)

Marla is on 101 nearing Burlingame and I have to go. Ah, what beautiful symmetry.
