Feder writes, “The final broadcast of the weekday morning syndicated news show will be produced December 22.
“The latest version of ‘First Business,’ anchored by Angela Myles, Chuck Coppola and Bill Moller under executive producer Harvey Moshman, ultimately succumbed to market forces: Bob Ramsey, executive vice president of local media for Weigel Broadcasting, cited the loss of affiliates for ceasing production.
“‘It was a tough decision as business programming has been in the DNA of this company since the mid-’6os, and Harvey and his staff turned out a great show every day,’ Ramsey said. ‘The market for this programming has changed as more stations are starting their morning newscasts earlier and earlier. The fight for time periods was difficult.’
“Taped at Weigel Broadcating studios at 26 North Halsted Street, the half-hour show aired at various times around the country and streamed on its website. In Chicago, it aired at 5 a.m. on Me Too (WMEU-Channel 26.4) and 5:30 a.m. on The U Too (WCUU-Channel 26.2).”
