San Francisco History: Phoenix Rising, 1910 to 1919, from KRON-TV, 1999

[@larryboysen5911]

2000...Even this KRON Production is rapidly becoming history itself! 20 years!

[@bayarea90s-tv46]

@Larry Boysen . . . With Nexstar the current owner of KRON, Bay Area viewers will never see locally produced documentaries like this anymore. Documentaries cost money to produce, which goes against the business model of Nexstar, as that entity is strictly a advertising revenue generating corporation. For those that are KRON viewers, you may have notice the advertising commercials are taking up more of the TV programming hours than with prior owner(s).

I was in the Palace of fine Arts in 1982 coming from Hayward junior high school on a field trip to see the Nut Cracker it was nice to see.

KRON's decade documentaries were amazing!

[@bayarea90s-tv46]

I agree! But such an era will never be repeated at KRON as long as Nexstar owns the station; as that company is notorious for its frugality. If you are a current viewer of KRON news, you may have noticed, this past year, that it is long with its advertising stop-sets, and short with TV news; and the news itself could be lackluster, at that.

@@bayarea90s-tv46 It's definitely been a steady decline for KRON and it's been sad to watch. Definitely far from its golden days.

[@bayarea90s-tv46]

I moved away from the Bay Area 19 years ago, but, my awareness with how Nexstar operates its TV properties, and currently owned KRON; I can imagine the station is a shadow of itself when compared to decades past.

@@bayarea90s-tv46 Oh, so Young finally unloaded it after wanting WAY too much for it. NBC tried to buy it a few times like 12 or 15 years ago or thereabouts (and KRON-TV would've been a big "get" for them), but the Youngs wanted $750M for it, so NBC finally said "to hell with it" (understandably), bought the KNTV license instead and moved the transmission facilities up the bay and branded it "NBC 11."

This is incredibly helpful as I am doing research on San Francisco right now for my thesis. Are there more of these for the 20s onward? Thank you so much for uploading!

Unrelated to this video, KZbin put two recommendations on the right of my screen that might interest you: _San Francisco 1920s - A Tour, People & Sites - Balboa Theatre, Crestwood Park & More - Silent_ by Historia - Bel99TV (1,569 views) _San Francisco 1920's-1930's_ by GlobalTubeTruth (11,514 views) I haven't clicked on either so I don't know what to expect.

[@CANOB23]

My.dear SF. I miss it a lot but I know that I come back idk when but I will💔💔

[@ApartmentKing66]

Where was this "Barbary Coast?" All I heard was a vague reference to Pacific Ave.

[@barefooboy17]

It's now North Beach on Columbus and also Broadway

[@safeatthird6060]

Great history of the City/SF. Hope it gets back to greatness one day.

[@williamfageol4062]

Wonderful lesson in Bay area history

[@GoldRushCity]

San Francisco, as it has done in the past, will emerge once again as the world class city it is! The Phoenix🐦‍🔥

[@Noway673]

The Golden Gate bridge didn't exist in 1919 it was thought about in 1919.

[@camman6912]

Why tear it down?

[@drobertjacobs]

The great sin of the leaders and it’s people destroyed this city Bible says Sin leads to Death

[@CrustyUgg]

It’s kind of messed up that that guy took a seat that was technically meant for women and children and then after all that.. he kills himself. He should have just stayed behind.

Love SAN Francisco but it used to be part of Mexico

[@ArtamStudio]

and Spain before that, and the indigenous peoples before that. How far back shall we go?
