Evening Magazine in Other Group W Markets

Local versions of Evening Magazine were produced at the other four Westinghouse-owned stations. At KYW-TV in Philadelphia, the hosts included Ray Murray, Larry Angelo and Teresa Brown. Featured contributors included Susie Pevaroff, Nancy Glass, Mary Ann Grabavoy, Jerry Penacoli, Pat Ciarrocchi, and other stars of KYW-TV's Eyewitness News. It was canceled in May 1992 and it was the last Evening Magazine version to air on a Westinghouse-owned station.

The Pittsburgh version of Evening Magazine aired on KDKA-TV from August 1, 1977, until October 12, 1990. Hosts included Dave Durian, Donna Hanover, Liz Miles, Jon Burnett and Mary Robb Jackson. Contributors to the show included Bob Kmetz and Dennis Miller (in his first broadcast experience, prior to joining Saturday Night Live).

Boston's version of Evening Magazine was produced at WBZ-TV, featuring Robin Young and Marty Sender, later hosts and contributors included Sara Edwards, Barry Nolan, Candace Hacey, and Tom Bergeron. It premiered on April 18, 1977, and ended on December 17, 1990, with a special entitled "An Evening to Remember," featuring a history of the show, augmented with staff and viewer comments.

In Baltimore, WJZ-TV's edition of Evening Magazine was hosted by Jeff Pylant, Donna Hamilton and Steve Aveson. Maria Shriver served as a contributor early in her career.

WPCQ-TV (now WCNC-TV) in Charlotte, owned by Westinghouse from 1980 until 1984, was the only Group W station that did not air its own version of Evening Magazine. WBTV owned the syndicated rights to the program's format and aired it as PM Magazine, as was custom for most non-Group W stations..
