Meet KSFR's News Team Video

For years, I've sought to show off our news team, other than their on-the-radio product. Still photos of them just didn't do it for me. Voila! A video. KSFR's website doesn't have its own video-uploading capability. But then You Tube came along. Thanks to team member Dan Gerrity with his video camera, we were able to knock out and post a video quickly and, importantly, for free.

Not everyone's included, of course. Sage Davis and Alan Kalman were not available the week we filmed. But we'll get them later.

It's great to see a radio team -- on video.
