KGO-TV Pete Giddings Scrambled Graphics

Someone got their ass chewed up and spit out off camera!

I remember ol'Pete sluring his words a lot on air after obviously having one too many. He was the best.

[gossamersound]

Pete always had a bit of an on-air temper when stuff didn't go right. I remember one time he berated an intern/noob when there a human error by calling him out by name and saying that "Producers don't like it when that happens..."

Looks like when the old NES or Sega Genesis would start crapping out.

Peter Giddings is my favorite TV meteorologist. Growing up in the South San Francisco Bay Area in the 80s and 90s, I always looked forward to his forecasts. I missed him when he retired.

OH my god. How un proffesional. He should have a general idea of what the tempurature would be and say "Its gunna be in the fifties, it was in the thirties .. or whatever it was.

Oh, no! The forecast is in Klingonese!

I remember when all of the male KGO TV news people wore some ugly shade of yellow blazers. KFRC DJ at the time, Dr. Don Rose (RIP) asked on a Groundhog Day show, "What's the difference between Pete Giddings and The Groundhog? The Groundhog doesn't have to wear a blazer!"

Trying to rattle off the stats like a pro. Hope he had fun... "As for channel 7..."....ugh...."And the forecast is...ugh, I'll meet you at the desk..." Is it actual print they super? I thought by now they'd be using CG.

What Year was this

[MikeAM78]

@Dook6 - This is obviously old. The male anchor at the end looks like Pete Wilson (not related to former California governor Pete Wilson), who began at KRON-TV, San Francisco's NBC affiliate, in (I believe) 1990. So this is obviously from mid- to late-80s.
