Beginning March 4, 2026, Red Curtain Addict is partnering with Nexstar Media’s KRON4 to bring a weekly arts segment to Live in the Bay, the station’s daily lifestyle program hosted by Jessica Wills. The segment will highlight standout performances, artists, and cultural experiences happening across the Bay Area, from opera and theater to symphony, dance, jazz, and more.
As part of the partnership, Red Curtain Addict Founder and CEO Kari Lincks Coomans will join Wills each week as the program’s arts expert contributor, offering curated insight into the performances and organizations shaping the region’s vibrant cultural landscape.
The segment aims to bring greater visibility to the artists, organizations, and performances shaping the Bay Area while helping audiences discover what’s happening on stages across the region. Click below to watch the first segment!
In addition to the on-air segment, the collaboration includes a digital integration that connects viewers directly to Red Curtain Addict’s arts discovery platform through KRON4.com. The centralized destination will allow audiences to explore upcoming performances, learn about artists and organizations, and find their next cultural experience.
“Red Curtain Addict was created to make discovering live performance easier, more personal, and more connected,” said Kari Coomans, Founder and CEO of Red Curtain Addict. “This partnership allows us to extend that mission through both broadcast and digital platforms, expanding access to the arts while championing the artists and organizations that shape our cultural landscape. I’m very much looking forward to joining the Live in the Bay team each week and to everything ahead through this collaboration.”
Jessica Wills, Executive Producer and Host of Live in the Bay, shared, “Kari brings deep knowledge of the arts landscape and strong relationships within the creative community. Partnering with Red Curtain Addict allows us to offer viewers both expert insight on-air and a dynamic digital destination for arts discovery.”
The Bay Area has long been one of the country’s most dynamic cultural hubs. With this new weekly segment, Red Curtain Addict and KRON4 aim to bring greater visibility to the artists, stages, and organizations that make the region’s arts scene so extraordinary—while helping audiences discover what to see next.
The Red Curtain Addict arts segment airs weekly on Live in the Bay on KRON4, Wednesdays at 1 PM PST.
