Better yet, why don't they do a live one since KDFW is now the only one on at Noon and theirs is only 30 minutes. However, if you see Nexstar or some dark horse candidate that would be willing to invest in a news department getting the station, that's less of a sure thing.

If there was ever a time CBS/KTXA could get back in the game, it's now. I was actually a fan of their primetime news block. This is the perfect opportunity to try again. More than likely, this is wishful thinking, though.

What does being a Vikings fan have to do with anything?

I only remember Rowlett from KTVT. One of the best. It's a shame how WFAA did him.

In the Gannett years, KOCO did a noon newscast. To be honest, It's about time they reentered the noon game. That and adding a 4pm show.

I hope they can make a comeback. Scripps isn't that bad of an owner but they just make careless mistakes.

They can't be any worse than any of the Sinclair stations in the state, right?

It's better than what they were doing.

And it's even worse off because it's not even locally produced in Washington. They'd have been better off going to WRC or someone local for a newscast.

Okay. Message deleted. lol.

At least they won't have to almost swap licenses to acquire it, unlike a certain company that once operated a CBS affiliate in Buffalo.

That's KTAL exactly. And this was also KTAL before the purchase of KSHV three years ago. Now, KSHV airs two reruns of Judy at 5 and 6pm, with Texarkana First News airing at 5:30 and 6:30, although they're moving the repeats of Judy to Noon and 12:30 pm to replace CWD. I know it's a Nexstar station but most Nexstar stations aren't that lazy. KTAL could do a 12:30 newscast leading out of Arkansas Today to lead into Days of Our Lives. It wouldn't have any competition as KTBS does theirs at 11am and KSLA's is only 30 minutes from Noon to 12:30 for obvious reasons.

Exactly. Very lazy. KTAL and KSLA do that too, showing infomercials after Newscasts. Is it that much to either show an hour of news (or in KTAL's case, a local Newscast after Arkansas Today) or buy half hours of syndicated shows?

I turned 20 in April.

I posted that in the shout box. It wouldn't surprise me if they did because a great portion of CW viewers stream the shows anyway but that didn't stop a Sunday expansion from happening. If they could get affiliates to agree to Sunday nights, Saturday may not be a hard sell. Some stations would welcome it. KPXJ and KMYS both just air sitcom/drama reruns on Saturday night.

Doesn't Scott always?

I already posted that in the Nexstar thread.

Y'all, Nexstar is trying to get KRBK. https://www.ozarksfirst.com/video/nexstar-to-acquire-krbk_20180802161330/1341474669 Don't know if it's been posted yet but better safe than sorry.

Ok. Hearst did drop those networks off of WCWG. However, they left Bounce TV (also a Scripps network) on the lineup. Escape and Laff may stay for all we know.

So, the people that bought KXJB now want to challenge the KCPM sale. Interesting turn of events.

They did.

Or Standard Media.

Ah. The meteorologist co anchoring. This is KSLA with Ron Young on the 9am newscast.

What's an example of that? Just curious.

Fellow NBC affiliate WOOD does this. And I think KXAS does this too.
