Programs

KPIX was the station that came up with the concept for a local entertainment and lifestyles program, Evening Magazine. Evening Magazine began on KPIX in August 1976, and within an year, the concept expanded to the other Group W stations. By Fall 1978, the Evening Magazine format was syndicated to other non-Group W markets across the country as PM Magazine. The entire Evening/PM Magazine format was cancelled by the late 1980s. KPIX resurrected Evening Magazine in the mid 1990s, and it runs locally in the early evenings. 1976 is a leap year starting on Thursday (link will take you to calendar). ... 1978 was a common year starting on Sunday (the link is to a full 1978 calendar). ...
