SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — ABC 10News is peeling back the curtain to show you the history of the TV station as our 70th anniversary rapidly approaches. In order to accurately tell that story, we need to speak to the players involved.
Throughout September, we will share firsthand experiences and insight from Channel 10 reporters, anchors, meteorologists and more of our former journalists.
Typically, it was their job to tell your stories from the community, but now we have the chance to reverse the roles and give you the perspective of what it's like to report on San Diego's top stories. For the former employees who are no longer with us, ABC 10News spoke to people close to them for memories of their TV careers.
