Duffy Jennings, a Chronicle reporter during the dramas of the late '70s, says he's featured in the first episode of the Travel Channel's "Most Notorious Places" show. San Francisco is the first place visited by the show, which premieres Thursday.

In connection with the 30th anniversary of the Jonestown tragedy and the San Francisco City Hall murders of Mayor George Moscone and Supervisor Harvey Milk in November of 1978, Duffy Jennings was a guest on the Ronn Owens radio program on KGO. With Jennings on the show were former Moscone press secretary Corey Busch and Congresswoman Jackie Speier. Rep. Speier was an aide to Congressman Leo Ryan when he was assassinated on a fact-finding mission at the Rev. Jim Jones' People's Temple compound in Jonestown, Guyana ten days before the City Hall killings. More than 900 Jones followers died in a mass suicide there.
