Austin CBS affiliate KEYE kicks off its new lifestyle show, “We Are Austin Live,” today at 4 p.m. The show stars former morning show co-anchor Michelle Valles and Jason Wheeler, former weekend news anchor. The show was originally slated to debut Monday, Sept. 14, but was delayed a day due to televised tennis.
“It is unlike any other show I’ve ever worked on in my 11 year television career,” Valles wrote in her blog. “We were given some talk orders to create fun-paced show using limited resources. And our production crew has done a fabulous job rolling with the punches. It is going to be a great time.”
Valles told me the show would focus on lifestyle subjects and community events. “We are taking a major leap of faith,” she said, “but knowing our personalities it is going to be a lot of fun! And it’s going to look different; we are going to dress very casual and hip, and there will be very little news.”
Is now the right time for less news and more entertainment? Take a look today and let me know what you think.
