Media blogger Rich Lieberman reports that KGO ABC7 is planning to launch an hour-long newscast at 4 p.m. to replace Oprah when she ends her syndicated show on Sept. 9, 2011. Word is that sportscaster Larry Beil will switch to news and anchor the program. Lieberman also reports that ABC7 is working on a new program to replace “View from the Bay” at 3 p.m. Apparently it won’t be a news show, but will have a Bay Area theme.
