The COVID-19 Pandemic has caused all businesses to adjust to stay afloat, including broadcasting. Emmy Award winning sports anchor Dennis O’Donnell from San Francisco’s KPIX is working from home in Auburn as part of the social distancing strategy to slow the spread of the virus. While many grumble at the thought of being cooped up for an extended period of time, O’Donnell chooses to look at the bright side to connect with his family on a deeper level along with some TV binge watching. The San Francisco State grad shows you can return home again and discusses how he finds joy in helping others as a broadcast professor. O’Donnell also talks to Dave about the challenges in working remotely and how the job description changes during this time of crisis.

KPIX’s O’Donnell Embracing Working from Home During the Coronavirus Crisis

"We got back to basics. We're all cooped up in the same house. We do things together. Last night, we watched Arthur together....we play corn hole, we cook breakfast together so in a funny way, it's a good bonding experience during this terrible time."

"There's definitely some about my personal relationships in there and we find sneaky ways to let those people know. There's lines and words and specific lyrics that to anyone else, they wouldn't get it or wouldn't think 'Oh, that's about me.' But me make sure that it's known."

Walk-on Creates Unforgettable Moment for Saint Mary’s Randy Bennett

"You couldn't draw up a better last home game scenario for him. He's been such a great story. Great kid. Great leadership. He didn't get a lot of minutes but is as committed as anyone on our team to working hard and us being good. It was cool. The fans were cheering for him and yelling 'Sheets! Sheets! Sheets!' and I couldn't fight 'em off any longer. So let me let his guy loose and he hits the shot. It was just incredible. It's one of my favorite moments at Saint Mary's...I'll never forget that one."

Howard Cato Making a Difference with Bay Area BMXers

Other people gotta understand that when come into these juvenile halls and come into these places, these kids don't want to hearing nothing about no talking because they hear that every day. They want to hear what can you do for them."

WNBA Reshanda Gray’s Life-Changing Meeting with Kobe Bryant

"Kobe said....you have to envision, see yourself being great even if you're not great yet. I'm like 13 or 14 and I'm like 'what the hell does that mean.?' Eventually, I got older and started to watch him win championships and I think it's starting to click of what he was saying. I have to see myself so I have to envision even though I'm not there, I still have to work toward being there because that's my end goal."

"That's why this moment has manifested. Because when I'm at certain bars that are so small....you're like truly crammed in a corner and you can barely hear yourself. I mean, I have fought back tears....and thought 'Nooooooooooo.'"
