‘USA Today’ to Switch Stations

“USA Today: The Television Show,” the dismally rated light-news series, is about to breathe its last on KCBS-TV Channel 2, but the 12-week-old magazine program will soon be resurrected on KNBC-TV Channel 4.

Channel 2 said Monday it plans to replace “USA Today,” which was the lowest-rated program in the 7 p.m. time slot during the recently concluded November sweeps, with the new tabloid-style news magazine “Inside Edition” on Jan. 9. Produced by the creators of “A Current Affair,” “Inside Edition” will be hosted by David Frost.

“USA Today” will move to Channel 4 at 7:30 p.m. in place of “Family Feud,” which also performed poorly in the sweeps ratings, although KNBC has not announced when the change will occur.
