I wonder if opportunities for airing sports programming from the local teams will become available.

This is already happening in a sense in NYC, where WWOR re-airs the 6pm newscast of sister WNYW. Guessing, based on the article that it will eventually be a live newscast

Anyone know the name of the song that played at the end of the newscast? I remember it well, but tried using one of the music recognizing apps, with no luck.

SportNetLA has made agreements with KTLA to simulcast it's coverage of a handful of Dodgers games over the last few seasons, with the most recent agreement coming in August. https://ktla.com/2019/08/02/dodgers-on-ktla-5-more-games-to-air-on-channel-5-this-summer-2/

Marvin Scott?

This is the same station that still uses the same backdrop from a decade ago without any of the new buildings in lower Manhattan.

If you're taking about since the station has been known as PIX11, no. If you're talking about in the entire history of WPIX, yes. The station used to rerun the 10pm newscast starting sometime in the 90s up until around the time the morning news debuted in 2000.

WPVI used it a few months back during the Amtrak derailment in Philly, IIRC.

This would make more sense if the station were planning on airing any Nets and / or Islanders games when they move in next year.

I can't remember a time when WPIX ever aired the SOTU live.

Message to WABC: If you're going to have a line that shows school closings, either move the station bug up a notch or get rid of the EWN hashtag while the line is running. That is all. Edit: Looks like I wasn't the only one that noticed.

They should've grabbed ABC7.COM before KABC did, but then again KABC has consistently branded themselves as ABC7 since the 90s, while WABC has used that branding sparingly.
