Other posters have noted that PIX has tried a 6:30 newscast before and it failed. I understand the appeal of having a local newscast during the network time (we have that down here in DC with WRC with them having Nightly News at 7) but what makes you so sure this will be a big hit with the ratings?

He'd still have a better delivery than Cheryl.

Ouch.

As bad as ABC 7's special can be (and usually is), there are no surprises. It's nothing if it isn't consistent. NBC gave viewers no good reason to come back next year, plain and simple.

Or by watching a different NYE event in the same time zone. Nashville or Dallas for example.

More young 'PVI talent moving on to bigger platforms within the ABC News family...First Shirleen, then Kenneth, now Eva. WPVI is indeed a powerhouse station. WABC & WPVI are the best news stations in the country.

She reported on the street a few days a week and anchored the weekend morning shows. I think she did plenty and was very good.

According to the TV listings it looks like a lot of the schedule is being revamped once the 6:30 starts: 5a-PIX 11 morning news 9a/930a-Celebrity name game 10a-Maury 11a-Jerry Springer 12p-Jerry Springer 1p-Bill Cunningham show 2p-Crime watch daily 3p-Steve Wilkos 4p-Maury 5p-PIX 11 news at 5 6p-PIX 11 news at 6 630p-PIX 11 news at 6:30 7p-Friends 730p-Seinfeld 8p-the CW 10p-PIX 11 news at 10 11p-Seinfeld 1130p/12a-Two and a Half Men 1230a-Friends 1a/130a-Everybody Loves Raymond 2a-Crime watch daily 3a-America's Court 330a-Rules of Engagement 4a-Good Times 430a-The Jeffersons

Well I guess Troy isn't *that* ready... It does beg the question why 7 thinks shoving Cheryl Scott down people's throats is a popular decision at every special they do... It's not like she needs that much introduction...

The WTAT/WCIV partnership is not the only new partnership we're gonna see in the new year... [MEDIA=twitter]682683242013655040[/MEDIA]

...Much less ones that were hired in their 80's.

So what they recently did in Roanoke, they're going to do it in Huntsville. B&C just posted today that Nexstar is going to start in-house news ops for WZDX with an expansion of its 9pm news to a full hour. It will spend over $3M to update its facilities, reporting capabilities & hire 20 positions for this news expansion. The new in-house newscast on WZDX will debut on April 4, 2016.
