Frank Somerville co-anchors the weekday editions of "KTVU Channel 2 News at 5," "KTVU Channel 2 News at 6" and "The Ten O'Clock News on KTVU Channel 2." Somerville joined San Francisco's KTVU Channel 2's Mornings on 2 and The Noon News in January 1992. The Berkeley native had been an intern at KTVU many years before. Previously, he'd worked as an anchor-reporter at WJAR in Providence, R.I and at KFTY in Santa Rosa. While in Rhode Island, WJAR sent him to San Francisco to cover the Loma Prieta earthquake. That was in 1989. Somerville reported live for several days, and later said it was the hardest work he'd ever done in his life. His half-hour special on the quake was nominated for an Emmy Award. He also won an Associated Press Award for Best Spot News for his coverage of a fire in downtown Providence, and an award for a Best Feature story about an 87-year-old hockey player. (Somerville is a devoted hockey player himself.) Somerville earned his B.A. in Broadcast Communications Arts at San Francisco State. While there, he was named "Outstanding Broadcast Student." Despite that, Somerville has admitted "I never really distinguished myself at school." He proposed to his wife on the Phil Donahue show live, while he was anchoring Mornings on 2 in San Francisco. She was a producer there, and the results of this proposal--where Somerville got down on knee on air--were seen across the country. "Thank God she said yes!" he quipped later. The Somerville home is filled with his abstract bright colored paintings and other artwork. Somerville has several hobbies. He trains twice a week in Gracie Jujitsu, a Brazilian martial art. He also plays ice hockey in an adult league. In addition, he works out at a gym at least three or four times a week. Show less «
