Eric Thomas

Eric may be best known for his 26 years in Bay Area television. But, his introduction to broadcasting actually began in high school in the St. Louis region. At age 16, he took a class in radio broadcasting - which included shifts at the school's 10 watt radio station - and he was hooked.

In college he worked as a reporter and DJ at a small AM station. A year later he accepted the role of student news director at his college radio station. He worked as a stringer, intern, then was hired as a writer at KCBS Radio's sister station, KMOX Radio. For five years he learned his craft rising from writer/producer to on air reporter.

In 1989, Eric was hired as a part time reporter at KMOV-TV, covering crime, politics, and the Metro East portion of the St. Louis area.

In 1993, looking for new challenges, Eric took a reporting position at KGO TV, moved to the Bay Area and never looked back. In 2020, after covering everything from Unabomber attacks, to plane crashes to presidential campaigns, he retired from KGO. But, not content to hang it up just yet, Thomas accepted a position with the Bay Area's News Station, KCBS Radio - a station he's listened to and admired since he first set foot in the City by the Bay.
