KRON (San Francisco) Anchor Jonathan McCall remembers his early days of TV news when trying to make ends meet was a challenge.

I remember the days when the water company would shut off my water and I would go outside with some pliers and turn the water back on to take a shower and then go back out and turn it off again. I couldn’t afford to pay the bill.

McCall decided to lend a hand and send some of his ties to a small-market station to help out.

It’s a nice gesture, but wouldn’t it be much nicer if the media companies that own these stations would pay their people a wage that they were able to live on?

Just saying….
