Evening Magazine was a locally produced prime-time access series that aired on the Group W stations in Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, Pittsburg and San Francisco. On other stations around the country, it was titled PM Magazine. The show was in production between 1976 and late 1990. Each city's Evening-PM offered a unique mix of stories about interesting people, places and things in the community, plus national content shared by other stations in the cooperative. The show was produced entirely on location with a high measure of quality and style. The series appeared on over 100 stations at the height of its popularity, and normally aired at 7:00 or 7:30 weeknights. THE BEGINNING Westinghouse Broadcasting Company launched Evening Magazine on its San Francisco station KPIX-TV in August 1976. The following April, the second Evening was born on WBZ-TV in Boston. By fall 1977, it was on all the Westinghouse stations. Group W Productions introduced the show in syndication the following year under the PM Magazine moniker.
