Well, KPRC 2 has started putting information out there about the new show. Hosts have been hired from out of state, producers are being hired from other stations and with all eyes on the NBC affiliate because of the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, let's get started.
The show's title will be Houston Life and it will debut August 22nd. It will air weekdays at 1pm (replacing Days of Our Lives at that time slot).
Since KPRC 2 is currently building a new studio, it sounds like the show will be live from a big public place...maybe The Galleria?
The Houston Life hosts are in Houston now (or on their way). So who are they?
One is a familiar name to San Antonio TV viewers. Former WOAI meteorologist Jennifer Broome is coming into host from FOX 31 KDVR Deniver's Good Day Colorado.
Coming in from Los Angeles' largest independent public television station, KCET, is Derrick Shore. He's been a reporter for the station's news magazine SoCal Connected.
Stephanie Gonzalez who does video segments for the Houston Dash will be a reporter for the show.
I hear the show's website will be houstonlife.tv.
Stay tuned...I'm sure KPRC will have a lot more information coming...especially with all the viewers turning for The Olympics.
