KNBC Reporter Mary Parks has Fans Looking to Keep Her On at KNBC

In april we reported that KNBC's Mary Parks was let go from the station.  That's distressing in itself as Mary did the interview of the victim of  Pechanga Security Guard Beating and wasn't afraid to ask the difficult questions.

We are pleased to report that there is NOW a Facebook Page looking to keep Mary Parks and you can access it at this LINK .      We need friends and allies to get our word out and since Mary would do the reports on the bad news from Pechanga, that should count for something.    If you are on FB, PLEASE join the fan page.


My understanding is that NBC VP Valari Staab is a decision maker:   valari.staab@nbcuni.com     Drop her a note.

KNBC Inland Empire Bureau Chief Mary Parks Leaving

UPDATE:  Sad to report Mary Parks has passed from cancer Nov. 23, 2020 .  A very nice person and terrific reporter.  Thanksgiving week won't be the same for her family.

The local television landscape is changing in the Inland Empire.  Mary Parks, 19 year veteran at KNBC and Inland Empire Bureau Chief will be leaving the station.   KNBC has chosen to replace her, though that position has not been filled. She will continue to report until they hire a replacement.

Mary has done good work in reporting and in the community.   She's been a thorn in the side of the Pechanga Band of Luiseno Indians, to a point they won't return her calls.   Guess it doesn't pay to report the news on Pechanga if it's not favorable.

Good Luck, Mary, hope you enjoy retirement.  And maybe we'll see you at Pietro's.
