I strongly do. I remember watching it a few times. That was when WKMG dropped the 4, 5 and 5:30 in 2009 to deliver an hour-long 6pm newscast. Now it seems like its reversed, plus an additional newscast at 7pm because WKMG already brought back the 5 and 5:30 and soon, they'll be bringing back the 4pm again.

Don't forget WDIV, which still uses the Local brand as well as WPLG. WJXT uses "The Local Station" while KSAT 12, like KPRC 2, doesn't have the word "Local" anywhere, anymore.

prior to March 1980, when WGN had a 10:00 p.m. newscast called Nightbeat (it was on at 12 Midnight, but then moved to 10:00 p.m. later) and also had John Drury and Newsnine. The complete and full story is on my Changing Newscasts Blog (@ChangeNewsBlog | #ChangingNewscasts)

I hate reading books, but this makes me wanna get a copy of the book, even though I don't live in Philadelphia.

Seems like you've read my blog... :-)

I guess The FAB Life ?

KFSN is the only one that doesn't do so. I see WSB and WFTV and in reality, any other ABC affiliates because ABC doesn't have a strict requirement to air JKL, I think, unlike CBS and NBC, which do have strict requirements to air their late night programming on both networks.

That's something I wish Homer Simpson had. Imagine that... Meet MSNBC's newest Senior Food Analyst... Homer Simpson! Homer: "Mmmmm.......... Donuts!"

That's a better circle 7 than the last one.

That leaves Eric Paulsen as the only surviving member left of the original "Eyewitness Morning News" when it debuted on 4WWL-TV in the 70s.

KABB should've added news at 5:30 p.m.

New logo, maybe?

My mock schedule on weekdays: 4:00-5:00 AM: NBC News - Early Today 5:00-5:30 AM: First Look 5:30-6:00 AM: Way Too Early 6:00-9:00 AM: Morning Joe 9:00 AM-12:00 PM: MSNBC LIVE 12:00-1:00 PM: Andrea Mitchell Reports 1:00-5:00 PM: MSNBC LIVE 5:00-6:00 PM: Chuck Todd's un-named show 6:00-7:00 PM: MSNBC LIVE 7:00-8:00 PM: Hardball with Chris Matthews 8:00-9:00 PM: MSNBC LIVE or The News with Brian Williams 9:00-10:00 PM: The Rachel Maddow Show 10:00 PM-12:00 AM: MSNBC LIVE 12:00-1:00 AM: The Rachel Maddow Show (repeat) 1:00-3:00 AM: MSNBC LIVE (10 and 11pm hours repeat) 3:00-4:00 AM: Hardball with Chris Matthews (repeat) Early Today replaces the Rachel Maddow repeat at 4am First Look and Way Too Early remains the same. Morning Joe remains the same. MSNBC LIVE from 9am-12pm replaces The Rundown (Jose Diaz-Balart should focus on Noticiero Telemundo instead) and NewsNation (Tamron Hall should just stick to doing Today). Andrew Mitchell Reports remain as is. MSNBC LIVE from 1-3pm remains as is with Thomas Roberts. MSNBC LIVE from 3-5pm replaces the canceled "The Cycle" and "NOW with Alex Wagner" and would be anchored by exile anchor Brian Williams. Chuck Todd's show takes over the 5pm slot from "The Ed Show." MSNBC LIVE at 6pm resumes with another anchor and replaces the stupid Al Sharpton, PoliticsNation show (why is he still on MSNBC? He's un-trusted and doesn't even pay his taxes). 7pm is still the timeslot to do some "Hardball with Chris Matthews." Get out Chris Hayes, because at 8pm... "The News with Brian Williams" makes a return. You're lucky Rachel Maddow that your show remains at 9pm. MSNBC LIVE from 10pm-12am replaces "The Last Word" and Rachel Maddow repeat from Mondays-Thursdays and "Lockup" on Fridays. The repeat for Rachel Maddow remains at 12am. The 10 and 11pm hours of MSNBC LIVE repeat from 1-3am, replacing The Last Word and All In. Hardball repeats from 3-4am, an hour later than what MSNBC currently shows at 2am. My point... more news, throughout the day AND night.

That debuted this past Monday and I already reported on this, since last week on my blog.

And once those contracts are over, ABC affiliates can then take over and put more local news or put more syndicated programming in it.

Really? I've always though WTVT was the highest-rated FOX station (in terms of O&O's) in the country, considering that WTVT is #1 in most, if not all, news timeslots.

The radio sister... Newsradio 950 WWJ and sports station 97.1 The Ticket, which is sometimes #1 in Detroit radio ratings.

I guess the station never confirmed my report, but that's what happens. I reported this for a week now and its now confirmed. I'm so good at this. A journalistic victory for my "Changing Newscasts Blog."

So its 5 organizations, 6 stations if you count TWC News North Carolina, 7 for WBTV News on Bounce TV, 8 for WSOC's Eyewitness News on WAXN. That's as equal as the amount of local news organizations we have here in South Florida (WFOR, WTVJ, WSVN, WPLG, WGEN, WLTV/WAMI, WJAN/WFUN, WSCV)

As long as they don't get rid of Right This Minute, I'm fine with that. I love that show.

I like this lineup, but I think Ukee and Jessica should do 6 and 11 p.m. while Natasha and some male anchor does 5 and 10 p.m.

I don't think he has. Steve used to do the midday show for a long time before leaving for the news at 9, but then returned to the midday show once Mark Supplesa came to WGN TV.

Weird to see the NY1 logo without the TWC sign, but it shouldn't be at all.

WFOR has the CBS part as Gold and the "4" part as blue. Pretty understandable, since this is South Florida and we have plenty of beach water around us.

Everybody except KECY 9.2 in Yuma, AZ-El Centro, CA, in which its owned by News-Press and Gazette Company.
