A new show in town

KPCC has tapped former "Day to Day" co-host Madeleine Brand to host a new one-hour show that will run in her old time slot, starting at 9 a.m. Currently, KPCC runs BBC at that time.

From the press release:

SCPR will immediately begin building a staff for this currently unnamed program. The staff will include producer/reporters, online, technical and support staff. The program itself will cover a wide range of topics, but all with a distinctive Southern California perspective.

I expect that a flurry of resumes from former NPR West producers and unemployed/underemployed/unhappy L.A.-area reporters is already on its way to KPCC's new Pasadena offices.
