KCET is ending ‘Life & Times’

From a Times staff writer

After 15 years, KCET-TV is pulling the plug on its weeknight public-affairs series “Life & Times.” It will cease production at the end of the year.

The public television station did not offer a reason for the move but instead announced that it would be producing a new series, tentatively titled “SoCal Connected,” that will premiere in 2008. The program “will emphasize timely, regional news coverage of important issues and proposed solutions,” the station said, and also will be “a celebration of the Southern California lifestyle.”

“SoCal Connected” will air once a week, as opposed to the five-night-a-week schedule of “Life & Times,” which has been the station’s flagship local production since January 1992.
