Deco Drive
Deco Drive is a daily
entertainment news magazine style program featuring reports on trends and celebrities in South Florida
.
It has aired continuously since January 8, 1996 on WSVN-TV in Miami, Florida, and has also been carried on WSVN's sister stations in Boston via their common ownership with Sunbeam Television.
History
On the date of WSVN's network affiliation change from
newscast, 7:30 changed its title to Deco Drive (a reference to the Miami Beach Art Deco District and South Beach's Ocean Drive
) in 1996.
Deco Drive officially premiered on WSVN in Miami and
Nielsen rating
of 5.8, or nine percent of all local televisions turned on at that time.
Deco Drive was initially positioned as a competitor to the nationally syndicated Entertainment Tonight and Access Hollywood, but was quickly changed to feature a heavier focus on Miami after its initial poor reception in the Boston market.[2]
In April 2015, Deco Drive returned anew to Boston, now carried by WLVI, a sister CW affiliate to WHDH bought by Sunbeam in 2007.[3]
