RL 415 Media EXCLUSIVE--
I'm getting word, (now confirmed) that with Comcast about to take over the fort at NBC Bay Area, (and controlling interest of NBC) sports news programming on the NBC Southbay outlet will run directly from Comcast and that, according to the source,primary sports anchor, Raj Mathai, would be moving to news.
Mathai has done some occasional news anchoring, (like KTVU's Mark Ibanez and KGO's Larry Beil,) so this would not be an unusual move, and according to an industry insider, NBC Bay Area management likes Mathai and would not want to lose him.
Mathai
UPDATE:--7: 50 PST
Sources close to Mathai have confirmed his new gig at Comcast/NBC Bay Area. An official announcement is imminent.
