Ryan Yamamoto Leaves KOMO 4 for KPIX 5
If what Rich Lieberman says is true, former KOMO 4 anchor Ryan Yamamoto is not long for KPIX 5, in his hometown of San Francisco.
Lieberman dishes a daily dose of venom in his 415Media blog, the TMZ of media blogs.
“In PC-engrossed Bay Area, a huge fallout could take place if they canned him.” -Lieberman
Rich Lieberman is not a fan, but also says these feelings are echoed by Yamamoto’s co-workers at KPIX.
We will check back with Lieberman next semester and see if Yamamoto’s grade improves.

Time for a 6-month update on Ryan Yamamoto's performance at KPIX, according to Rich Lieberman at 415 Media:
*OVER at KPIX, I don't care if Ryan Yamamoto is strutting out his chin and attempting to be taken more seriously, Ryan is a TOTAL FAILURE. KPIX knows it and CBS too. Of course PIX is stuck with him because the new GM doesn't have a choice and Yamamoto knows it.
Is that a hiring based on ethnicity? That seems to be happening in all markets.
