COLUMBIA— A longtime television variety show that shined the spotlight on mid-Missouri's regular folks will sign off for good on Friday.
"Pepper
and Friends" has been a fixture on KOMU-TV for more than a quarter
century. But the MU-owned station says the show
hosted by 40-year employee Paul Pepper is losing too much money to
continue.

university announced the move in May. Several sponsors say they will
pull their advertising from the station.
A scaled-down version of Pepper's show will debut in early October on KBIA-FM, a university-owned radio station.
