''PM/Evening Magazine'' is a television series with a news and entertainment format. It was syndicated to stations throughout the United States. In most areas, ''Evening/PM Magazine'' was broadcast from the late 1970s into the late 1980s.

KPIX's ''Evening Magazine''

The format called for the local hosts to have on-location wraparounds (in and around their local communities) and introduce short feature stories about ordinary and interesting people doing extraordinary and quite newsworthy things.

Expansion

At the time, Westinghouse owned four other stations around the country, and with the success of ''Evening Magazine'' in the San Francisco market, it was expanded to their other properties. Soon, Group W stations in

) were all doing their own local versions of the ''Evening'' format. The show's format allowed the stations to share their feature stories among each other. For example, a feature that aired in San Francisco could also be shown in Baltimore, and vice versa. The success of the format on the Group W stations gave the company management a bigger idea. Group W decided to expand and syndicate the format to other markets where they didn't own stations. The shows in non-Group W markets would generally use the name "PM Magazine." At the end of the 1970s, with ''Evening'' and ''PM'' now all over the country, Group W Productions created a large production office in San Francisco at 855 Battery Street. This was on the bottom floor of KPIX-TV. Dick Crew was the National Executive Producer, with the following production staff: Dick Newton, Sally Jewett, Andrew Schorr, Melanie Chilek, Bill Geddie, Diane Heditsian, John Norton, Larry Emsweller, Vanita Cillo, Jim Ziegler, David Baxter, Mellen O'Keefe, Gary Cooper and Joe Tobin. Their function was to watch all of the stories being produced by the new local ''PM'' and ''Evening Magazine'' stations and create a weekly "national reel" for stations to run in local markets. Depending on local station budgets they could produce as much or as little feature material as they wanted, but still have a local show starring local talent. The cooperative production model created by ''Evening/PM'' remains unique to this day.

Breeding ground for television on-air and production talent

''Evening/PM'' was also a "breeding ground" for television on-air and production talent.

Departments

Two long features were augmented each day by a block of "departments", featuring special tips for daily living—generally, two or three departments were featured in each program, each with a different host. In the early 1980s, "Captain Carrot" (Cary Nosler) presented the "Self" department, on healthier living; Judi Sheppard Missett presented " Jazzercise" in the "Exercise" department; Dr. James Wasco presented medical issues in the "Health" department; Chef Tell gave new "very simple, very easy" food ideas in the "Cooking" department; the "Animal" department featured Joan Embery and animals from the

; Fred McBurney hosted "Outdoor Leisure", featuring tips related to hunting & fishing; and in the "Travel" department, Linda Harris visited various parts of the globe.

Special editions

Occasionally, ''PM Magazine'' would feature a prime-time "Special Edition" special, focusing on a single subject for an entire hour. These specials were hosted not by local hosts, but by better-known personalities, such as

Decline

The number of stations carrying ''PM Magazine'' began to decline in the middle to late 1980s for a variety of reasons. Some industry insiders have placed a great deal of the blame on Group W Television, which handled distribution of the franchise as well as national advertising sales for the local editions. The initial arrangements between Westinghouse and stations which subscribed to the ''PM Magazine'' format were done so on a "barter" basis, where the local affiliate and the national distributor shared an even split of advertising time and revenue. But by the mid-1980s Group W increased the program's franchise fees, and also took more advertising time within the program, thereby reducing the local affiliates' ability to make money with local spots, some by as much as 20 percent. With fewer local commercial spots to sell, and increasing production costs on the affiliate end, the ''PM Magazine'' format appeared less attractive. By

, when Group W decided to cancel the format, ''Evening/PM'' had been edged out in many of its local time slots in favor of tabloid TV news–investigation programs, many with little or no local content. Shows such as '' A Current Affair'', ''

Legacy

The KWQC version of PM Magazine was replaced by a similar show called ''Paula Sands Live'' (known to locals by its abbreviation of PSL), which ran on the station from the 1980s until Sands' retirement in 2024, first at 4:00, and then moving to 3:00 following the cancellation of the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2011. It was subsequently replaced by ''Quad Cities Live'', which also has a similar format. KFTA has a similar program known as ''Later, with Jason Suel'' that airs every Saturday at 9:30 following the Fox 24 News at 9. Unlike PM Magazine, a musical guest can be heard every week on the program.

, who would go on to Discovery Channel, hosted KPIX's revived version of Evening Magazine for a time.
