There’s a new face coming to KCBS All News (KCBS-AM) in San Francisco. Bret Burkhart has joined the station as a news anchor and reporter.
“We are incredibly fortunate that Bret is continuing his already illustrious career as an anchor for his hometown KCBS,” Stacey Kauffman, Senior Vice President and Market Manager, Audacy San Francisco, said in a press release obtained by Barrett News Media.
“He brings to KCBS a comprehensive and complex skill set that we will all benefit from. Bret knows politics, the Bay Area, what makes a good story, and how to tell it, and we look forward to welcoming him aboard.”
Burkhart isn’t a stranger to the San Franciso market, having spent the past 23 years at KGO Radio. During his stay the Bay Area radio veteran served as the anchor for the station’s morning and midday shows.
“KCBS is the gold standard for news around the Bay Area and beyond, and I feel so fortunate to be joining an amazing group of broadcasters and storytellers,” Burkhart said.
Along with San Francisco, Burkhart has also had stops at Newstalk 1060 KPAY in Chico, CA, and KFBK Radio in Sacramento.
