Don Sanchez is in his 38th year at KGO-TV/ABC7. We take him for granted. He just keeps going and going.
Sanchez can tell you stories about Van Amburg, the late Jerry Jensen, John O'Reilly, Pete Giddings and yes, Rigo Chacon. That's how long he's been at the venerable ABC SF TV station. Remember the Patty Hearst story? The Zebra killings? Sanchez covered both as "NewsScene" crime reporter in the 70's, (with the added "circle 7" lapel on his jacket.)
In 2000, Sanchez was inducted into the TV Academy's Silver Circle for recognition of more than 25 years on the air in the Bay Area. He's won numerous Emmys. You may have forgot he did sports too.
Here's a quick salute to the Bay Area TV's Energizer bunny.
