To say Barbara Simpson is a well-known San Francisco radio and television personality is a gross understatement. To date, Barbara has had a 20-year radio, television and newspaper career in the Bay Area and Los Angeles.

Currently, Barbara, "The Babe in the Bunker," is on KSFO Saturdays and Sundays with frequent weekday fill-in appearances. She has also hosted the Saturday night/Sunday morning Coast to Coast AM -- The Art Bell Program.

For two years she anchored the original 2 at Noon show on KTVU and moderated a town hall program for KQED TV/Public Television in San Francisco. As anchor, she helped launch the evening news at KOFY-TV 20/San Francisco.

In Los Angeles, Barbara Simpson anchored the 10PM News and did investigative reporting for KTTV-Channel 11. She then moved to KNXT (now KCBS-TV), where she was a field reporter and specialist covering the school busing trial as well as a program host and news anchor. She also guest hosted on GOOD MORNING L.A. for KABC-TV.

Her work in LA included radio as well, as a talk show host and specialty reporter for KABC and KFI. Barbara Simpson wrote, produced and hosted daily environmental reports for CBS Network Radio.

Her company, Blue Shadow Productions, does media consulting for politics, business and the environment.

The scope of her experience well equips her for the microphone. From gun control (she is an excellent markswoman) to education (she has taught at Michigan State University), her firm positions are borne of experience and first-hand knowledge.

Barbara doesn't shy from controversial topics. Her opinions are heard on Hot Talk 560 KSFO every Saturday and Sunday from 4pm – 7pm.
