In menlo park, chris nguyen, abc7 news. Up next, big changes for some television viewers. How an auction of the air waves will change the your wireless broad band may improve in about a year. In exchange, some tv stations you watch could go away. Michael finney is here to tell us about a potential change. Yes. Money needs science. Anyone who uses broad band gets their signal from a spectrum. Regulators are giving tv stations an opportunity to sell part of their spectrum or all of it to help improve broad band. Its happened to many of us. Our internet signal stalls. That is why there is a call for a spectrum auction. If it occurs, the mobile industry says it will mean Better Service for all of us. Its going to mean faster service. Reporter here is what it is all about. Tv stations and wireless carriers spare the band width, or spectrum. For wireless to expand, tv stations will have to give up some of their spectrum. So broadcasters are being offered a chance to make that available to wireless carriers. And over the years its been sold and resold to other broadcasters for billions of dollars. Robe is president of diatv, serving a National Audience with ties to india. The folks that will lose access are the folk thats get marginalized. Women, minorities will get dismac dismaced displaced off the air. Reporter its not clear which will go up for auction. The fcc says the auction wont be limited to smaller stations. I think stations large and small are looking at this and i think well see a mix of large and small stations deciding to participate. Some of the stations will go off the air. Others will move to different channel numbers and could share space with an existing station. Kapur the stations likely to go off the air are small, and pbs stations. He says low power stations dont qualify for money from the auction and are not guaranteed space if they want to share. The fcc says its working to change that. The wireless provider says viewers will be able to find content online. We can serve that community. Reporter viewers can see changes as early as 2017. If you want to check out my reports go to abc7news. Com. Fascinating. Michael, thank you. Still ahead here, trouble for californias pistachio farmers.

But the best rest event ends sunday at sleep train. Your ticket to a better nights sleep new details in the case of a family dog hurt during a break in. Police say they hurt marley when they threw treats on the shattered glass to distract him. Police arrested the 21yearold, he is charged with burglary and animal cruelty. He is set to appear in court tomorrow. A pistachio shortage is a concern for growers. Instead of a green nut, many are seeing blanks inside of their nuts. Reporter from the outside, the pistachios look healthy and appear ready for harvest. But tom coleman started to cut samples in july. Reality is that we cut into them and find that there is a little white fuzzy piece in there. But no green. You can see this is just a white, kind of cottony looking substance. Reporter theyre called blanks. A shell without a nut. The Central Valley produces 99 of all pistachios. But the fall out has shaked many growers. We have more blanking going on. Some orchards appear normal, but others have blanking as high as 70 . Reporter coleman says a warm winter didnt ahow trees to go dormant and early bloom through off the timing of pollination. Its made worse by the drought weve been going through. We dont have rain to get the fog to get the chill to get the trees a sleep during the winter. Reporter last year, pistachio growers produced 520 Million Pounds of nuts. This year, because of the blanking problem, the industry could see a 42 drop off. We expect the crop for 2015 to be 300 Million Pounds. Reporter many of the trees are still full, but he wont shake them again. Everything, i believe now is pretty much either blank or just not viable anymore because its dried up. Reporter but he believes the industry can meet Global Demand because of a carry over from last years big crop. Abc7 news. I love pistachios. Okay. We love spencer, too. Hes here with the forecast. Speaking of nuts. Here is a way to spare you. Sunny skies across the bay area now. Tomorrow, sunny across the state, including the bay area. Highs in the state will be well into 90s and well have 90s returning to the bay area inland. Low to mid90s and mid to upper 80s around the bay. 70s on the coast.

Very warm weather cooling down just a tad into the weekend and settling into a falllike pattern next week. Still feels like summer. Spencer, thank you. Lets talk nfl football. Yes. Focus on collin kaepernick. What is different from good evening, coming into the season, much of the 49ers success was pinned on Collin Kaepernicks ability to raise his own game. So far, so good. He is averaging 250 passing yards but seems to be more comfortable with his role in this offense. He was rather cryptic in discussing his feelings but he likes to use his legs instead of becoming a pocket passer and seems to be happy with changes on offense. I would say the biggest news is to be myself this year. And i dont think anyone knows how to be myself better than me. So its a comfort zone for me. Its a situation where im not being asked to do things outside of my character. Everybody here knows how i feel about it. Im tickled to death and happy as heck that he is our starting quarterback. I think hes a talented individual and im a big fan. Raiders are going to play this sunday in cleveland. Johnny mansel will be watching. Because josh mccowan is going to get a start for the browns. Derek carr, three touchdowns, and a last minute win over the ravens but the road has not been kind to the silver and black. They lost 19 of 20. We saw what it takes to win in this league. And i guess a good football teams effort takes practice all week. And in the film room, all week. As long as we can take that, we can find somewhere to take the game. We want to be the team that can travel well and play in any conditions and weather, just be purposeful and be able to impose our will on the opposing team. The seahawks are 02 and about to get back on the field. Cam chancellor wanted to renegotiate his contract which still has three years left. Ha, ha, anyway. Management responded with youll get nothing and like it. And rather than keep losing game checks the 267,000 a week, he arrived today and may play some day against the bears. The world of sports is remembering yogi berra. He played in the 1940s and 50s, winning ten world series for the bronx bombers. A catcher, but man, he could hit. A threetime mvp. Became a tv pitchman. If youre old enough to remember those old yoohoo commercials the sayings, if you come to a fork in the road, take it. Here is Alex Rodriguez with his time with yogi. He was so generous with his time. One thing was to get an opportunity to sit down with him for breakfast or lunch. He had a great privilege maybe half a dozen times. What is amazing about yogi is how small in stature but what a big bat he swing. And what a big impact he made in baseball. And outside of baseball. And all teams in Major League Baseball will honor yogi bera. Abc7 sports brought to you by bank of the west. You dont see catchers that are five feet seven inches anymore. And so famous, 50, 60 years since he played. I mean, still, that much of a legend and icon. His phrases, i mean so adorable. Do we have time for one . He hits from both sides of the plate. Hes amphibious. I didnt know that was his. I never said half of the things i said. He enjoyed being teased about it. Join us tonight, the dalai lama.
