San Francisco Chronicle
The San Francisco Chronicle is a newspaper serving primarily the San Francisco Bay Area of the U.S. state of California. It was founded in 1865 as "The Daily Dramatic Chronicle" by teenage brothers Charles de Young and Michael H. de Young. The paper is currently owned by the Hearst Corporation, which bought it from the de Young family in 2000. It is the only major daily paper covering the city and county of San Francisco.
Chronicle Live
The show was announced in February 2009, as part of a revamping of the CSN Bay Area lineup. Previously, the channel (then Fox Sports Net Bay Area) was mainly just for airing local sports telecasts and FSN original programming. When the channel was re-launched in April 2008 as CSN Bay Area, plans were announced to have a news show for all Bay Area sports. It was then announced that sports talk show would premiere as well, and would be hosted by Greg Papa. The show is named for the San Francisco Chronicle newspaper, as the show's panel is composed primarily of columnists from the Chronicle. However, writers from the MediaNews Group (mainly the San Jose Mercury News, Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times) and the Sacramento Bee also frequent the show.
