San Francisco, CA – Veteran Bay Area journalist Stanley Roberts announced that his popular "People Behaving Badly" segments are set to be republished on KRON4 Plus, the local news station's streaming platform. The move brings back a fan-favorite series, with Roberts indicating that the continuation of new content will be directly influenced by audience feedback. "Just wrapped up a great chat with the folks over at @kron4news! We’re on the same page about them republishing some classic #PeopleBehavingBadly segments on #KRON4Plus," Roberts stated in a recent tweet.

The "People Behaving Badly" segment, created and hosted by Roberts, gained significant popularity for its unique approach to street-level journalism, often showcasing public infractions and quirky behaviors while aiming to educate viewers on civic responsibility. Roberts, known for his distinctive style and direct confrontations, became a household name in the Bay Area through his work on KRON4.

Roberts departed KRON4 in 2018, leading to a notable intellectual property dispute. Following his exit, Nexstar Media Group, KRON4's parent company, trademarked the "People Behaving Badly" name, preventing Roberts from using it for his independent productions, which he subsequently continued under names like "Caught Misbehaving" through his Mr. Badly Productions. This return to KRON4 Plus marks a significant development given their past history.

KRON4 Plus serves as the station's 24/7 streaming service, offering live newscasts, interviews, documentaries, and news programming beyond traditional broadcast schedules. The platform is accessible on various devices, including Roku, Apple TV, and Amazon Firestick. This strategic decision to reintroduce classic content aligns with KRON4's broader digital efforts to engage its audience across multiple platforms.

The potential for future collaborations and new content from Roberts on KRON4 Plus appears to be directly tied to viewer engagement. Roberts's tweet explicitly invited audience participation, stating, "More to come? Well that’s totally up to you! Speak up now or forever hold your peace!" This direct appeal underscores KRON4 Plus's strategy to leverage audience interest in shaping its content offerings, particularly for beloved local programming.
