“WELCOME BACK” KOFY TV 20/ CABLE 13!

On October 8, 2008, KOFY TV 20/Cable 13 returned to the station’s original KOFY call letters and philosophy of providing great nostalgic TV programming presented every day by local personalities and has added some exciting new interactive concepts.

“The key to KOFY TV 20/Cable 13’s new approach is our focus on the station strengths of the past--being local and fun but with a modern twist,” stated KOFY TV 20/Cable 13’s President and General Manager, Craig Coane. “We’ve added new interactive concepts where viewers make programming selections by voting for what they want to watch; we have trivia contests for valuable prizes; and of course, we have the famous “Dogs of KOFY” doing our station ID’s at the top of every hour!”

Celeste Perry and Morris Knight host KOFY TV 20/Cable 13’s programming throughout the day. During “Retro Night” on Sundays from 8-10:00 p.m. viewers get the chance to pick the shows they want to see each week by voting on www.kofytv.com. From those who vote, viewers are picked at random to come in to co-host the show. “We want our viewers to know we’re local like they are and we want their input and interaction,” added Coane. A KOFY Crew is in the streets making contact with viewers in all Bay Area communities looking for opinions, taping viewers and passing out “KOFY Coffee” provided by John Weaver of Weaver’s Coffee.

Being an independent presented the opportunity to provide local news from a well known and trusted brand – ABC7 News-- at 9pm. “ABC7 News at 9” airs weeknights in prime time to provide viewers with the latest local & national news, weather, and sports at a convenient and appealing time. Anchored by Dan Ashley along with Meteorologist Sandhya Patel, and Sports Anchor Larry Beil. The newscast also includes contributions from 7 On Your Side, the ITeam and Dr. Dean Edell.
