70 Years of ABC7: Bay Area's 'Most Wanted News Team' deputized to raise ratings

In 1970, when Van "The Kid" Amburg was taking over as lead news anchor at KGO-TV, the station caused a sensation with a Wild West ad featuring "The Channel 7 News Gang." abc7ne.ws/2R7ZlNL
Over the past 70 years, ABC7 has shared so many memorable moments with the San Francisco Bay Area. We’re proud to be an integral part of television history and of this amazing place we’re lucky enough to call home. From our start as the first antenna on the old Sutro Tower, to changing the game of local news with community-based reporting, we’ve always had an eye on Building a Better Bay Area.
