I got an anonymous e-mail from someone who called WSFL today. “The Morning Showoff” is still on, and did you know they’re freaking blogging about it!? I’ve searched up and down the WSFL site and couldn’t find it until someone sent me a direct link. Here’s what i’ve found out about it, including a name change :
Read (a lot) more below:
- “The Morning ShowOff” or “SouthFlorida.com Live!” (or what ever the final name will be!) was delayed until late March due to “technical problems” *COUGH* lack of money *COUGH*
- The morning show will hold the general theme that the SouthFlorida.com site holds.
- The hosts are Dave Aizer, who’s been doing SFL “News Updates,” and two chicks named Kristin and Amber. (I’m not being sexist by not posting their last name, but Dave Aizer didn’t post them in his blog hint to Dave Aizer if he reads).
From Dave Aizer’s blog (one of the hosts…)
“Our show will take South Florida by storm (and no, that’s not some cheesy Hurricane pun). We’ll be helpful, hopeful and – most of all – a whole lot of fun. We’ll cover news, entertainment and lifestyle ? and not necessarily in that order. Plus, we’ll have special guests, live music, giveaways and tons more. Basically, if it’s on your mind – and in your town – we’re all over it. With the show set to launch March 30th, our cast and crew are hard at work rehearsing. Every afternoon, we head outside our offices and set up shop at a pavilion overlooking the New River, just off Las Olas. There’s something pretty cool about rehearsing outside in January. In fact, if you ever want to check out a rehearsal and meet us ? we’d love to have you. Come on by!”
Who ever “comes on by” to see one of their rehearsals, take photos please :-).

“Hey all, What’s up? Things here at SFL are great. Continuing to gear up for the morning show launch in March, by rehearsing every afternoon. Today we did something a little different. We went to the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach for a promo shoot. Basically we’re putting together a two-minute presentation tape for potential advertisers and sponsors ? you know, telling them how awesome we are.”

Dave Aizer? Like the guy who used to host Nickelodeon’s “Slime Time Live”?
Huh, wow. Yeah the Wikipedia page says yes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Aizer
Will it be in HD? If not, fageddaboudit. I’ve been spoiled by 7NewsHD.
No, you’ll be lucky if it’s in color 😉
(sigh)
Judging by the “A day in the sun at Haulover Beach” video that’s posted on the blog page, I give this monstrosity of a show six months. And I’m being really generous…
You are generous! That turd will be canceled in 10 minutes of the first day.
Reminds me of those crappy shows wami69 used to air at 2am on saturday night.
I’d rather watch the shamwow infomercial than this….
With tribune bankrupt, they will no longer hit Dave in the face with pies. Instead they will use cupcakes.
It will lead into Springer. Perfect.
Three months of rehearsals…. Wow, this is going to be GREAT!!!
It will never get off the ground. money Looser.
