They share a building, (separate offices notwithstanding)--they share a news helicopter, (it's KGO's). Now comes word from a few of my spies at 900 FRONT that there's talk of a Shared-Services Agreement in the offing.
Between KRON and ABC7 which has been rumored for months and now, and according to a source, has already been discussed with the union, (SAG-AFTRA). So, yes, your KRON reporters could soon be seen on Circle7 and some KGO reporters on KRON. Without elaborating on how much this potentially sucks, it unfortunately makes too much sense.
Nobody is talking on the record of course because this has just surfaced. More ominous is what happens if it delves from merely air talent to producers, engineers and writers, (NABET), which it most assuredly would.
It's all about saving money you know --even in times when business is good and every one is happy. That's the numbing thing others at 900 Front are most worried about but we're a long way from that occurring.
