Oregon Media Insiders

Here's a story you likely won't see on KGW.

The personality they promote weekly on their noon news, who coincidentally sponsors his own segments to hawk his own product, just lost a $2.5 million lawsuit.

Celebrity businessman Junki Yoshida says he'll appeal a more than $2.5 million jury verdict intended to punish him for his conduct toward the owner of a wine bar inside his former Pearl District gallery.

Although the jury set the verdict more than a year ago, an appeal wasn't possible until a final ruling in the case came earlier this month.
