Emerald Yeh

Yeh married Ron Blatman in December 1993; the couple welcomed twin boys in April 1997. Larry Ching sang at Yeh's wedding.

She moved to the Bay Area in 1984, joining KRON as the weekend co-anchor. While at KRON, Yeh gave up the 11 PM co-anchor spot to begin reporting on social issues and human interest stories in 1991; she was named the co-anchor of "Midday" and began working as the "Contact 4" consumer reporter in 1994. Nearly two decades and nine Emmy Awards later, Yeh was let go by KRON in 2003 to cut costs.

Yeh began her broadcast career as an intern for KITV (the ABC affiliate in Honolulu) in 1977, while still attending the University of Hawaii and working for the school newspaper; she ended up graduating a semester late and continued working at KITV for an additional six months before starting graduate school at Columbia in 1979. After she graduated in 1980, Yeh moved on to KPTV in Portland, Oregon for nearly three years. After KPTV, Yeh was the co-anchor for CNN Daybreak on CNN in 1983. When interviewing with CNN, she was asked why she couldn't style her hair like Connie Chung.

Emerald Yeh (born 1956) was the mid-day anchor for the local news broadcast on KRON in the San Francisco Bay Area from 1984 to 2003, when KRON discontinued its local news programming.
