Hey, where's Ernie Anastos? He worked with Roger Grimsby as well.

[JRobelen]

@pooka5472 Ernie was the Ch. 2 anchor when this segment was taped. Probably too busy to sit.

[JesseLee85719]

@pooka5472 He took the day off and was out of sorts that day.

Grimsby, in a sense, was seen on WCBS after his firing from WABC - in a short clip of his speaking at the memorial for Roger Sharp who died a week after Grimsby's firing in 1986. But in terms of actually working there, yes, that was the one channel Roger never worked at.

Applegate never work for WFLD. He did become VP and GM at KCBS in LA after WBBM.

Then After Applegate left the WBBM GM post then ex KGO and WLS GM Joe Ahern took Applegates WBBM spot.

Roger Grimsby is very influential in the Bay Area he created the News scene concept under ABC Management with his bay area replacements like Van Amburg, Jerry Jensen and Pete Wilson. Grimsby made sure the Bay Area Stations did not go tabloidal and made KGO the most respected ABC O&O.

[dinfg6]

But Spencer Christian is the Only current KGO guy to work with Roger Grimsby but as the WABC weather person.

[dinfg6]

That sucks I don't remember Roger Grimsby being mourned on KGO when he died. I wish There were more Clips of Grimsby as the KGO anchor.
