KTVU in Oakland
On KTVU, Bay Area viewers still couldn't get enough of their Creature Features host, a soft-spoken but extremely funny character whose overwhelming popularity enabled him to produce and host a number of prime time specials, including The Star Trek Dream and The Bob Wilkins Super Horror Show, as well as making dozens of public appearances every year. Even with this seemingly heavy workload, including commuting every week to Sacramento from Oakland to tape his sister show on KTXL-40, he was first and foremost a devoted husband and father, even coaching baseball at his son and daughter's school, and rarely staying up past 10 p.m. Eventually, Bob found himself, at the urging of KTVU management, joining the 10 O'Clock News team as their Weatherman. But, after two years, he stepped down because he didn't feel that he could be creative that late at night. In spite of this, he was nominated for a local Emmy Award for a ski report which used footage from the opening scene of On Her Majesty's Secret Service.
