Finney is not going to NBC Bay Area. Flat out. While you can talk about the connections Finney has with people at NBC corporate, the major stumbling block would be implementation. Chris Chmura is well entrenched at KNTV so bringing Finney in would mean jettisoning Chmura. Another factor would be, and I don't know if anyone has thought about this, but if KGO is dumping Finney, it's not just dumping Finney but it's downsizing (or outright eliminating) the huge staff/operation that Finney had at his disposal. However good Chmura is, I'm certain he doesn't have the staff Finney had at KGO. That would factor into Finney's decision...would he want to move to KNTV where he's have less to work with than he had before? Conversely, would NBC be willing to bring in more staff? I doubt that. So I just don't see Finney making that move (or KNTV poaching him)...
It was stupid to pay that overpriced suit hundreds of thousands a year to do a stupid segment a few times a month. Wasteful. Stick to weather and traffic and some local news stories. Franchises are from the age of Ron Burgundy.
