Longtime KTVU anchor to retire
Dennis Richmond, who has anchored the evening news at Oakland’s KTVU TV for more than 30 years, announced today he will retire in May, when he turns 65.
The popular, stern-faced anchorman, one of the most visible black journalists in the Bay Area, has worked at the station since 1968. He survived the sudden, mysterious 1998 departure of co-anchor Elaine Corral and made the 10:00 evening newscast a perennial Nielsen ratings leader in the Bay Area.
Elaine Corral is gone, but why did Leslie Griffith (sp?) leave? Hmmm, whats going on Dennis?
