Many retired educators in California are finding retirement far less comfortable than they had assumed. At Fox 8 News, Bill has worked alongside veteran anchor Lou Maglio and Tracy McCool. In April 1997, the Fox wordmark logo was added onto the underside of the top line of "Circle Laser 2"; the station also concurrently changed its branding to "KTVU Fox 2" as the network tightened its branding standardizations for its stationsalthough the previous "KTVU Channel 2" moniker remained in use as part of its newscast branding (the "Fox 2" logo was also used on its newscasts in April 1997, but the moniker was used from March to October 2001).

His last day at the station was on November 26, 2019. [20] Fox's original parent company News Corporation (which spun off the network to 21st Century Fox in July 2013 as part of the company's separation of its entertainment and publishing assets) made several offers to buy KTVU, but Cox turned down each of News Corporation's proposals (Fox had also reportedly considered purchasing KIRO-TV, the CBS affiliate in Seattle, which would have displaced that market's charter Fox affiliate, KCPQ; such a purchase never materialized, although Fox did attempt to buy KCPQ outright before renewing its affiliation contract with that station in July 2014, after it was unsuccessful in pressuring Tribune Broadcasting to sell KCPQ by purchasing and proposing to move its programming to Bellingham, Washington-based KBCB).

However, the station was unable to compete with WTBS (now WPCH-TV) in Atlanta, and two other independent stations that were uplinked to satellite as superstations in the two years after KTVU gained national distribution, WGN-TV in Chicago and WOR-TV (now co-owned MyNetworkTV owned-and-operated station WWOR-TV) in New York City, and began to scale down its national coverage via cable in 1982. The strong ratings that KTVU had as an independent station carried over into its tenure with Fox, turning it into one of the network's strongest affiliates; despite having its programming occasionally being preempted by San Francisco Giants game telecasts, Fox was very satisfied with KTVU because of its ratings performance. Bill Martin (Meteorologist) is an American Chief Meteorologist at KTVU, Oakland, California. [31][32], Until the 1980s, the station produced a series of classic public service shorts titled Bits and Pieces, often featuring two talking puppets, Charley and Humphrey, which Pat McCormick had brought over to KTVU from his tenure at KGO-TV. He loves the Bay Area temperate climate andenjoys surfing, biking, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, kayaking, and climbing. On October 10, 2006, KTVU became the first television station in the Bay Area to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition;[74] with the upgrade, the station debuted a new state-of-the-art studio designed for HD newscast production, which replaced the previous set that had been in use since 1986 (with updates in 1989, 1997 and 2005); video from remote and field equipment was initially broadcast in 480p standard definition following the transition; high definition cameras are now utilized for field reports. He later became field anchor for the 5 p.m. news before joining Fox 8 News in the Morning team in 1996. One of Bills claim to fame is that he has read nearly every book ever written on California history and is fascinated by that state and the people that were drawn here, from the Native Americans to the Spanish to the pioneers. [18] On March 3, 2008, KTVU celebrated its 50th anniversary of broadcasting. On January 21, 2008, the station began producing a half-hour newscast at 7:00p.m. each weeknight for sister station KICU-TV. [24] As part of the trade, Cox Media Group and Fox Television Stations also reassigned key management personnel between the two markets; KTVU-KICU general manager Tom Raponi was reassigned to serve in the same position at WFXT, while Gregg Kelley was reassigned from WFXT to become vice president and general manager of the KTVU-KICU duopoly. The 10:00p.m. newscast's dominance was to such an extent that, from 1987 to 2005, the program was referenced in its title sequence and some news promotions as "the #1 primetime newscast in the country", a factual statement based on the number of viewers watching the program at that hour, even beating network programs airing against it on KRON-TV, KGO-TV and KPIX on most nights. Martin is married to the love of his life Pam and together they are parents to two children Bill and Avery. [5] The sale was eventually canceled in October 1961, due to pre-existing concerns over the sale cited by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that were related to NBC's ownership of radio and television stations in Philadelphia; as a result, the NBC affiliation in San Francisco stayed with KRON-TV (channel 4, now a MyNetworkTV affiliate) until 2001, when NBC attempted again, successfully purchasing KNTV (channel 11).

The Saturday and Sunday editions of KTVU's 6:00p.m. newscast is subject to preemption or delay due to network sports telecasts overrunning into or starting within either time slot; since April 2016, sister station KICU has served as an alternate broadcaster of KTVU newscasts that are preempted by network sports telecasts. Until his retirement on November 26, 2019, he worked at Fox 8 News in Cleveland, Ohio, for 25 years. Richmond's co-anchors throughout his tenure were Judd Hambrick (19761977), Andy Park (19771978), Barbara Simpson (19781986), Elaine Corral (19861998, abruptly resigning on-air in March 1998),[46][47][48] Leslie Griffith (19982006)[49] and finally Julie Haener, who became weeknight co-anchor in May 2007 and remains in that capacity as of 2016[update].
