Tavis Smiley Moves to Orange County, Not Happy About It
Missed this story over the holiday break. Television host Tavis Smiley, who had worked with KCET for seven years to produce his self-titled late-night program, will no longer be working with the station now that they’ve left the PBS umbrella. He’s moving his program to Orange County’s PBS affiliate KOCE. And he doesn’t feel good about the way the move went down.
