"7-Live", ABC7's local early-afternoon program hosted by Brian Copeland, has plateaued at a poor ratings mark that didn't even match that of "View From The Bay", the show it replaced, and they're stuck with it since they signed it for 2 years. KGO-TV upper brass doesn't care for the show and say regular folks are complaining it's just a commercial for the 5 pm news.
Furthermore, said an insider, "They, (Channel 7) stuck it in the 'death valley' time slot; the only people watching are unemployed or housewifes in Millbrae."
And that a block of near-total news there from 3-7 pm won't work.
They also bitched about the two airhead "yentas" co-hosting with Copeland saying how annoying they are, in particular the "dumb brunette."
How doomed is "7Live?" KGO has a judge show in place ready to go just as soon they get a clearance and Oprah exits the picture.
