Evening/PM Magazine

Rollo... I am the original author of the PM Magazine WIKIPEDIA entry. I wrote the first version over a year ago, and I am pleased that others have added to it over that time. I was executive producer of the New York, NY version of the program for six years, nearly its entire run on WNEW/WNYW. I have enjoyed watching the article grow over the past year. The additions to the station list are great. Last night I edited the station list with a list of local market co-hosts from my memory. I think that whomever can augment that information will add a great deal to the written history of this program. I was very disappointed this morning to see that you had edited out the names I had entered in the station list. Who or what gave you the authority to do that? Are you an employee of WIKIPEDIA? If not, I would ask you to please restore the host names as they were written and allow others to add to that list. To my understanding, this site is a collabprative enterprise.

Personally, I think listing local hosts of Evening/PM Magazine should be limited to the individual station's articles, since (I assume) they were hired by the local station to host the show. The list of stations which aired the program is growing, and IMO, adding hosts' names would make it longer than it probably should be. My apologies if you took it personally.

BTW, I couldn't remember any other local New York hosts except for Matt Lauer and Jill Rappaport (on the WNEW-TV version), and Richard Bey and Denise Richardson (on the later WWOR-TV version)...so overall it was a good addition, but a tad misplaced. I'll add another line to the text about local hosts. Rollosmokes 16:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
