I take no credit in breaking this news, this is completely from Rich and his sources.

KIFR - granted the California TV Board is a bit...uh...underutilized, but I think you can take the lack of response to your breaking news as a collective "who gives a s__t."

Personally, I've never cared for these local magazine "lifestyle" type shows - I've only watched "Eye" a couple of times and I hardly ever watched Evening Magazine during all the years it was on. But that's just me.

I do wonder if the internet has something to do with this. We all have so much information at our fingertips now - in regard to places to visit, restaurants to eat at - and so forth. We no longer need to sit through a TV segment or read a newspaper article to get the info we need.

What about Travel Channel on Cable that killed off "Eye on the Bay" aka Evening Magazine and PM Magazine once Mike Rowe moved to Discovery after hist contract with KPIX expired. But back in the 1990's Eye on the Bay was killed off because KRON did Bay Area Backroads.

Forget Eye On The Bay, bring back People Are Talking! that was the best locally produced program of all time on KPIX (my opinion) they "killed" it while it was still on top dosen't say much about the folks that ran the station during it's Westinghouse days. Now that CBS ownes the place it's really messed up now I don't even watch them anymore.

I was a longtime fan of them I even watched the news back in the 60 and can still name most of the newspeople from then but now it's mostly no name, low paying "airheads".
