Nexstar's San Francisco station KRON has added a second host to its lifestyle show “LIVE! in the Bay.”
Current host Jessica Wills (pictured left) will be joined by Rachel Maurer (pictured right). The network said the change will “increase the show's energy and engagement with viewers. It also reflects the show's commitment to providing fresh, engaging content and further connecting with the Bay Area community.”
Maurer comes from WCCB in Charlotte, North Carolina, where he was the morning news anchor.
“We are excited to introduce a two-host format,” said Wills. “This new partnership opens up a world of new possibilities for our show, and I can't wait to share our joint ideas and insights with our audience. Rachel brings an incredible energy to the show, and together we hope to continue to inspire, entertain and celebrate all that makes the Bay Area special.”
“I'm so excited to be returning to California to host this amazing show with Jessica. Telling the stories and celebrating the people in my home state is a broadcaster's dream,” said Maurer. “I have so many fun ideas to bring to our audience and I'm sure this collaboration will help the show reach new heights. The Bay Area is full of amazing stories and I can't wait to share them with you!”
The two-host format will premiere on Wednesday, August 21st.
