CBS5 chose Richmond’s East Brother Island at sunset as the venue for the final episode of Eye on the Bay. I gave the crew a boat ride to the island and drank champagne with them at the final wrap.

Recollections of the program’s  seven-year run were given by Thuy Vu, Brian Hackney and Liam Mayclem.

Evening Magazine started in 1976 and became Eye on the Bay in 2005. After a 7-year run, it will go to a weekly show on Saturday.

The East Brother farewell episode will air on Channel 5 on May 23 at 7:00 PM.

It was a bittersweet time for the crew who had been doing shows daily for seven years. Really nice people. We were honored that they chose Richmond and East Brother for the series finale.
