“OpenRoad with Doug McConnell” airs Sunday evenings on NBC Bay Area. OpenRoad which is co-sponsored by a dozen Bay Area open-space agencies and non-profits, picks up where McConnell’s previous show, the long-running hit “Bay Area Backroads,” left off. OpenRoad celebrates the natural, historical and cultural wonders of the greater Bay Area, highlighting the people and places that make this such a special place to live. McConnell also interviews the people who work hard daily to protect these priceless resources.
