Kim Stephens' son joins KMPH's Great Day + other changes at Fresno TV newsrooms
Finnley Pendergast may be new to KMPH’s TV newsroom , but he has some history with the station and its Great Day morning show. His mother, Kim Stephens, has co-hosted the newscast since its inception in 2003, playing counterpart to its well-known weatherman Kopi Sotiropulous. Pendergast grew up visiting her on set. “It was kind of boring then,” says the 22-year-old Fresno State graduate, who just last week joined the station as morning reporter and multimedia journalist. “I was just a kid.” But looking across the newsroom and seeing his mother behind the anchor desk, it hits different now that the pair are working together, he says. “It’s a really cool experience for both of us.” This is Pendergast’s first gig since graduating from Fresno State, where he helped produced a weekly newscast and anchor weather segments for the school’s student newscast. He also worked on the university’s newspaper as sports editor and as a staff reporter. Getting that practice in, especially in front the camera, was helpful, he says, for a guy who is mostly pretty reserved. But there was a big learning curve going into his first live remote from outside city hall, reporting on updates to the

Has Mike’s Grill changed? 17 years on, Fresno’s tri-tip sandwich master says no.
One of Fresno’s best sandwiches comes from one of its smallest restaurants. That was just one discovery from our recent search for the best tri-tip sandwich in Fresno. Mike’s Grill on Cedar just south of Herndon occupies a 150-square-foot kiosk that looks like a former Fotomat, and actually began as a Lehman’s Lock and Safe (and later became a Cingular Wireless). But for 17 years, they’ve been serving what some may consider Fresno’s best tri-tip sandwich.

City attorney cleared over confirmation of candidate's DUI to media; questions remain
The investigations that the Fresno city attorney and a councilmember called for against each other over the handling of a candidate’s DUI charge were closed by city council in closed session last week without explanation. A short, joint statement from the Fresno City Council said City Attorney Andrew Janz did not violate any policies when he confirmed to media that council candidate Naindeep Singh had been arrested on suspicion of DUI a week before the Nov. 3 election, and that the matter was now closed. The unusual, unsigned, two-sentence statement on council letterhead was released on Monday, but it did not include how or when the council reached that conclusion. Kevin Little — an attorney representing Singh — told The Bee that his client still believes a thorough and unbiased investigation should be conducted into why he was arrested and then information of the arrest disclosed. At a press conference last week, Singh and Little called for Attorney General Rob Bonta’s office to get involved. “We are interested in facts, not bare conclusions,” Little said. “We have submitted exhaustive requests for public records and hope that those requests result in the disclosure of the requested information, since apparently now the
