Earlier today, Erika and I learned a long-standing Bay Area institution was canceled. The View From The Bay, an afternoon show on ABC, will have their last show July 23. Over the years we’ve enjoyed watching and placing clients on the show, and will miss everything from easy recipes viewers can do at home to tips for living a healthier, fulfilling life.
Although the show will be replaced by a new show created by KGO, this is yet another example of the TV industry changing and new media emerging.
I realized after I heard it was canceled that there is nothing else like this in the Bay Area. It was a show all about us that live here in the Bay Area. Spencer , Janelle and Audrey were a pleasure to work with. It felt so comfortable and friendly on that set.
I will miss you guys and the show!
Well, thankfully they’ll live on at YouTube!
I love watching people cook stuff, though maybe I haven’t gone out and copied them that often.
Janelle has such a sparkling personality, and is always enthusiastic when tasting! Spencer and his wines… what can you say? He’s very comfortable in this setting, and it makes the viewer comfortable, in turn.
I have to confess, I didn’t watch often enough to have justified saving the show, but seriously, where are we gonna see local stuff happening on local TV? I adore Brian Copeland, from KGO radio, whose new show will replace VFTB, but really, is it going to be appointment TV? I’ll tune in, but won’t feel bad if other duties keep me from tuning in regularly.
Sad loss. I hope they turn up elsewhere on the KGO lineup, if only maybe a spot on mid-morning news introducing a local chef, maybe? Or demonstrating a recipe from upcoming street faire, perhaps? Good Luck to Janelle and Spencer, hope to see you again, soon.
All i can say is wow..what a dissapointment, this show was fun, loved the food segments, the two host were a pleasure to watch, seriously. this replacement show, is ridiculos, i will not watch, way to ruin afternoon programing, BIG mistake, hudge….bring back this show.
I can’t believe that the show has been cancelled. The current show with Brian Copeland is not too appealing. I don’t like the replacement show at all. This puts a gap into my afternoon while I’m cooking dinner and doing my household chores.
Too Bad!!
Please BRING this show back and Bring back Spencer and Janelle! Horrible that it has been cancelled!
the new show is HORRIBLE! 7 Live……who thought of that?! 7 Live hosts etc are loud, whinny and really not good with their responses at all!
The replacement show is terrible. I HATE the format. Absolutely HATE it. Why was View from the Bay Canceled?
I LOVED this show, Soooo disappointed it’s not on, I DO NOT like replacement, won’t watch. Why was it cancelled ?
I am glad it was cancelled actaully. Janelle was such a ditz and made it nearly unbearable to watch. I got free tickets but refused to go see such nonsense. Spencer was OK but a little too uptight on certain topics.
I am glad the show is off and look forward to 7Live the new show!
I read a little something related to your post while browsing google news… I was intrigued and then began looking around, and then landed at this site… anyhow, I believe that I agree with what you talk about here. But I am going to go see what else I can lookup as well.
As a native San Franciscan I’m gonna miss this show. I hope it comes back!!! Janelle and Spencer were great on that show! As was Lisa!
Does anyone that matters read this…you’d think they’d listen and put it back!
Wow live 7 is terrible. Unwatchable. Bring back Spencer and the view.
I happen to LOVE 7Live and I do not miss an episode. I love the host and the format. Don’t hate, just show love and support for your fellow Bay Area residents!! I don’t want another cancellation!! DON’T CANCEL 7LIVE! BRIAN, LIZZIE, AND JENNIFER ARE AWESOME!!! 🙂
