Here is a local milestone.
San Francisco TV news anchor/talk show host Ross McGowan announced his retirement from KTVU Channel 2's morning news program yesterday.

He co-hosted the local talk show "People Are Talking" on KPIX Channel 5 for 14 years. It was the show that CBS affiliate KPIX chose to air instead of "The Price Is Right" for 17 years total on the daytime line-up thus denying San Francisco tv viewers Bob Barker and the pricing games for extended periods from 1977 to 1994. I think local independent station KOFY Channel 20 picked up the CBS "Price Is Right" feed for a few years in the 1980s but dropped it to show syndicated reruns after a couple of years. Channel 20 later picked up some 80s-era NBC daytime game shows such as Bill Rafferty's "Blockbusters" and "Classic Concentration" that then NBC affiliate KRON Channel 4 did not carry.
KPIX carried the half hour "New Price Is Right" from 1972 to 1975 and the expanded hour version from 1976 to 1977. Channel 5 showed the nighttime syndie "Price" with Dennis James in the 1970s and the one-season 1985 Tom Kennedy weeknight "Price" version. Channel 5 resumed showing "Price" continuously from 1995 after CBS bought out Group W and made the station carry all CBS daytime shows as a CBS owned and operated tv station.
The spectacle of Bob Barker's hair turning white for the first time was not shown in the Bay Area.
