Dennis Richmond, a renowned anchor at KTVU-TV for 32 years, passed away at 81. Celebrated for his calm demeanor and distinctive mustache, he joined KTVU in 1976 and became a prominent face in journalism, known for covering historic events including the OJ Simpson chase and the Loma Prieta earthquake. Under his leadership, KTVU's Ten O'Clock News gained immense popularity. Richmond's influence extended beyond his tenure, as noted by KTVU’s general manager, and he recently made a surprise appearance on air during a colleague's retirement broadcast.
"Dennis was a strong presence in the KTVU newsroom for decades, guiding the team and setting high standards for himself and his colleagues in everything they did."
"It was during Richmond's tenure that the station's 'Ten O'Clock News' became the Bay Area's most popular nightly newscast."
