It's really good to see someone like Brian kick @ss and take names. He deserves every last drop of this success, because of his own talent and because of his work in the community. Eat their lunches, Brian.

After an unhappy gig as a morning-show personality in the 1990s, Brian Copeland was done with live television forever. Or so he thought.

Next week, the multitasking entertainer embarks on his latest adventure as host of "7Live," a new Bay Area daytime talk show on ABC7. As if a popular one-man stage show, an ongoing radio program, his stand-up comedy and various writing projects weren't enough to keep him busy.

Described as "groundbreaking television" by station management, "7Live" will air at 3 p.m. weekdays in the slot formerly occupied by "View from the Bay." It arrives with an ambitious agenda: to cover the hot topics of the hour while serving up opinion and humor and energetically interacting with viewers.

It's a format that has the dynamic Copeland revved up and ready to roll.

"I'm really excited," he said during a break in rehearsals at KGO's San Francisco headquarters. "We're going to cover the news, pop culture, the latest happenings in the tech world, politics and more. ... The idea is to have viewers feel like they're caught up on everything that's gone on through the course of the day."

1. that's nice, but channel 9 (KQED) has the Newshour live during 3pm

and I'm not usually home at 3PM due to being in college, but I'll see what 7Live has in store. Thanks for posting.
