Why the font has to be so skinny? Some folks would think that's hard to read...

IIRC, WFLD did have an hourly 5pm broadcast on Saturdays staring in the late 90s through a good chunk of the 2000s. Most of that time the newscast was called Fox News Saturday. I previously stated 2006, but I now think the Saturday broadcast probably lasted longer than that, because I remember it was still on when Bears went to the Super Bowl in '07.

Yes.

The CW is coming to Western North Dakota. NorthPine.com stated that KX stations in North Dakota is adding The CW on its .2 subchannel, replacing its Weather stream.

A carbon copy setup like the Scripps stations.

Yes.

WLS always do a live 35 second news tease (during the commericial break at around the 9:30pm half hour).

With the viewers that 5, 7 & 9 have, what's the point of having a 5th station with a 5pm broadcasts? That's just too crowded. This is nothing more than a Johnny-Come-Lately move (Like Johnny Came Really Late) by WFLD. And probably got pressured by the big bosses at Fox to do it. All Fox is doing is burning more money to add another hour of news that very few folks are going to watch and they're going to lose big time. It's a complete waste if you ask me. And it's just leaves fewer options to non-news viewers. When the political money runs dry, are they're going to keep the 5pm experiment one year after launch? Hmm..... Unless they're pulling someone out of the hat, I'll say It'll go away eventually, just like "The TEN" went away. They should've kept the Simpsons repeats. At least it did have more staying power.

WFLD is better off not doing an early evening broadcast.

Damn. My error. I didn't even think about TMZ Live.

What if Oz move at 2pm and Harry move to Oz's current spot becoming the lead-in to Judy?

Q's new show will only be a half-hour.

Forget October. His resignation is effective immediately.

Are you sure about that? You've said that the Fox O&Os was going to use a brand new music package last year, and that never happened.

I thought it was Presto.

And just like that, Sinclair now owns KJZZ. It was closed on Friday. Was greenlighted two weeks prior on the 3rd. Anyone think they'll move Jeopardy & Wheel to KUTV?

For a station in the largest TV market in the country to do this practice, is completely uncalled for. If Channel 7 can do a live broadcast at 12:45am in the morning (like they did on Easter Sunday), then why can't they stay until the game is over to do a live broadcasts? They've done it live many times before. What changed? The crew can't stay past 11:30pm anymore? News could be breaking at anytime (even in these hours). And to air a pre-recorded broadcast tonight is complelely unacceptable. What a shame.

Nexstar plans to do a companywide community service for all of their markets to commemorate its 20th anniversary on Friday.

It's been a while since he was on the late show.

The announcement of this deal lit up this board like wildfire. It was just a shock to all (including me) because Belo was one of the well-respected groups out there. This came on the height of the M&A craze that year after Sinclair's announcements of new acquisitions of the lower market Cox stations, Barrington & Fisher; Nexstar's announcement of ComCorp; and Media General's announcement of a merger with Young.

Okay Follow-up. I'm not too sure when they changed it but their twitter feed is now updated. The logos matches the ones from the website. To me, the one that was posted before (specifically the Fox one, which was a carbon-copy of KDVR) looked extremely cheap. But I'm tired of seeing yet ANOTHER Nexstar Fox station with the same vertical-stacking logo. And it really doesn't look right with a singular-number station. I just hope they don't splew this shit into the MG stations.

Four stations with an 11am broadcasts? That's just too crowded.

Follow-up regarding Hill. She won't be at NBC for long. TVNewser stated this morning that's she's returning to HLN. She'll also contribute on the CNN shows.

Longtime Rochester anchor Don Alhart reaches a milestone tonight. 50 years on Channel 13.

Ironcially, the last daytime game show that aired on ABC was Match Game '90, hosted Canadian comedian Ross Shaffer. And that show wasn't cleared in all markets since many of them started airing the news at 12pm.
