The Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame commemorates Women’s History Month with our second annual women’s program titled “He Said She Said: Reality Check.” This year’s event will be held Saturday March 15th at 11am at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant at Jack London Square in Oakland. https://californiahistoricalradio.com/event/women-in-broadcasting-event-he-said-she-said-reality-check/
How have women changed the face of broadcasting? How have they navigated a male dominated field in which they had little power and influence and few if any advocates. How have women elevated their own progress in radio and TV? Which visionary managers championed women in those early years? And what are the experiences and challenges that women broadcasters face today?
Our panel includes Marcia Brandwynne who has the distinction of being the first woman to anchor a local TV prime time newscast at KTVU Channel 2 in 1972. Marcia will be joined by decades-long ABC President and General Manager of KGO Radio Newstalk 810 Mickey Luckoff and current top-rated broadcaster martial artist and cancer survivor Freska (Griarte) of KOIT and KBLX. Our host for the program is longtime TV and radio weather forecaster Roberta Gonzales of KTVU Fox 2 and formerly of KPIX-TV (Channel 5) and KCBS Radio.
Join us Saturday March 15th for heavy hors d’oeuvres and no-host bar at Scott’s Seafood Restaurant at Jack London Square in Oakland. Mingling and food service begin at 11am. The one-hour program starts at 12pm. Underground parking is available at Jack London Square. The ferry dock is a short walk.
