Public broadcasting’s KTOO in Juneau has added former KTVA television host and reporter Rhonda McBride as host of its afternoon talk show, “Juneau Afternoon.” Her first show will be Wednesday, Dec. 2.
McBride, a storyteller who for five years was host of the”Frontiers” show on KTVA, saw that show canceled when the station merged with KTUU and became “Alaska’s News Source.”
Since July, she filled in at the Kodiak public broadcasting station, KMXT, but will now head to Southeast Alaska to become KTOO’s arts and culture producer. She has lived in Anchorage for over 20 years but will relocate to Juneau for her new assignment.
The afternoon show has been on a break since Nov. 23, and was to return with Sheli DeLaney as host. DeLaney is programming manager for KRNN and KXLL, stations owned by KTOO that are aimed at a younger audience.
Congratulations to Rhonda. Inhave enjoyed her stories for over 20 years!!
Ms. McBride should be very comfortable in Juneau.
Kodiak’s gain is Juneau’s loss..
A little left of center (as required by “public” media) but a professional all the way
Congratulations Rhonda
Ms. McBride is an asset wherever she is. She has an elegant news casting approach I thoroughly enjoy. I wish her the best. Congratulations, Rhonda.
Again giving a liberal at job with our taxpapers’ money. When are are we going to stop funding PBS with tax dollars? If you want to fund it, good. Taxpayers’ money shouldn’t be used.
