Betty Ann Bruno, Longtime KTVU Reporter, Has Passed

I HEARD about the passing of Betty Ann Bruno.

Ms. Bruno spent a three-decade career at KTVU and was a heritage reporter.

Betty Ann was unique in that she not only was a great reporter but she could tell a story. And she was magnificent and flawless in her effort.

One of her most compelling reports: the Oakland Hills firestorm in 1991 -- a fire that destroyed Ms. Bruno's home.

Ms. Bruno was 91.

  8. RIP, and speaking of great reporting, what's the real story about the dropped charges on the carjacking/ crash trio? Some politician's/police chief's relative?

  9. She was a patient at a doctor's office I worked at in the 90s and was just the nicest lady you'd ever want to meet. Had no idea she was a Munchkin, very cool!

  10. Will KTVU give Betty Ann Bruno the proper on-air tribute she deserves? Or will they do her like they did Fred Zehnder?

  13. Met her a couple of times here in Sonoma. She was always lovely. She led a troupe of senior citizen Hula dancers at our senior center. She had just finished a performance when she passed.
