Delray Beach, Fla. - Veteran newscasters turned talk show hosts, Eric Roby and Suzanne Boyd, return to CBS12 with a new show that the popular team will produce and host for the West Palm Beach, Fla CBS affiliate. The duo spent nearly two decades as an anchor team and left the CBS12 anchor desk about a year ago to produce Rise+Live with Roby and Suze. The half-hour show will be seen every Friday at 9:30 AM on CBS12 and its sister station CW34.

The morning talk show focuses on what makes South Florida a great place to live, work and vacation. For the past six months, the talk show has been seen live on Facebook, YouTube and www.riseand.live with a steadily growing fan base. Impressively, the show already garners an audience comparable to local newscasts. With the catchphrase, “Making Mornings Fun Again”, Rise+Live with Robyand Suzeincludes a live studio audience, DJ and open bar that features local bartenders and restaurants.

“We are thrilled to be back on CBS12,” said Suzanne Boyd. “Our goal was always to have Rise+Livedistributed by a TV station, but to have it happen this quickly is a bit of a surprise.”  Eric Roby continued, “Our success with an online audience has been tremendous and beat our expectations. We will continue to broadcast on our digital channels, but expanding to a traditional TV platform will help us grow even faster.”

The show’s expansion does not mean drastic changes to the format that has made it an instant success. Rise+Live will continue to broadcast live from its home studio inside the Heart of Delray Gallery in Delray Beach, Fla and live on location for special events. “The show will have the same feel and fun segments, except Suze, will just have to watch her mouth. On the internet, you can curse, but on TV, the FCC frowns upon it!” laughed Roby.

“It takes an entire team of professionals to make this show work. Many of them are friends we met over the years while working at CBS12. To be able to produce and host a show that will air on the station where it all started makes this even sweeter,” said Boyd.

Rise+Live with Roby and Suze can be seen on CBS12 and CW34 every Friday at 9:30 AM, starting on January 3^rd.
