Toyota Quality : Broadcast Veteran Marks 19 Years on L.A. Airwaves While Serving as a Role Model for Minority Journalists
Tritia Toyota had been working as a reporter at KNX-AM radio for a year when an executive from KNBC-TV Channel 4 first called her in 1972. After a few seconds, she hung up on him.
“The guy only wanted to know three things: Was my last name really Toyota, was I Japanese-American and what did I look like?” recalls Toyota, the KCBS Channel 2 journalist who has served as an anchor in Los Angeles for the last 15 years. “I thought it was a crank call.”
Her phone rang again.
“It was right on the heels of the civil rights movement, and television stations were very much aware that they did not have people of color on their staffs,” she explains. “So there was a big push to hire women and minorities. At the time I started at Channel 4, there was one black reporter out of about a dozen and a half and they had a woman doing consumer reporting, but she left on maternity leave. So without any real professional experience in television, they hired me to replace her.”
