Geraldo At Large “Will Take Our News Prog. Strategy To An Entirely New Level”

“Geraldo At Large “will take the most compelling stories we hear, see and read about each day and produce them in a fast, informative and exciting way,” a press release says. It will “be on the scene of top stories, with special correspondents and field teams delivering exclusive reports, in-depth reporting, breaking news and top newsmakers.”

Fox TV Stations CEO Jack Abernethy says: “Strong news reporting and the delivery of comprehensive information to the viewer are key ingredients to success and ones we are going to incorporate into our program strategy. News is a key driver for the Fox owned-and-operated stations and ‘Geraldo at Large’ will serve as a strong complement to our local stations’ newscasts.”

Bob Cook, president and COO of Twentieth Television, adds: “‘Geraldo at Large’ will take our news programming strategy to an entirely new level. Viewers are demanding more topical coverage and stronger investigative reporting in their news. With Geraldo’s strong background and experience, we elected to further evolve our news program strategy by launching this show, as it will help us satisfy this requisite among the audience.”
