Updating this thread to say that it seems like KDKA has started a 12:30pm newscast on sister station WPCW and streaming platform CBSN Pittsburgh. It must have started today. Now all three Pittsburgh stations have a full hour of news at Noon and at 4pm starting this afternoon. Courtesy of their social media pages.

A look at the changes here in Pittsburgh. Once again, Kelly Clarkson gets bumped to 3am on WPXI because of the 4pm news with Susan Koeppen, debuting later today. https://triblive.com/aande/movies-tv/tv-talk-daytime-changes-for-fall-include-jay-leno-hosted-game-show-nick-cannon-talk-show/

It needs to be bigger. You can barely see it. I literally had to zoom in to this picture to actually see it.
-
KDKA renamed their newscast to "Your Day Pittsburgh", but I'm not sure exactly when that happened.
-
Well first it was WTAE, and now WPXI will launch a 4pm newscast coming up in September with Susan Koeppen anchoring. https://www.wpxi.com/news/top-stories/channel-11-news-launch-4-pm-newscast-this-fall/

Not surprising. It was going to happen eventually. I actually thought it would happen after Ellen ended her run next year, but this works too.
-
Stacy Smith is retiring from KDKA-TV after 50 years in broadcasting, and 38 years at the station. His last day is May 30th.

Didn't see this brought up here, so I'll bring it up. WTOV chief meteorologist Kevin Carter announced his retirement yesterday, and his last newscast was last night. Morning meteorologist Jeff Oechslein will become the new chief meteorologist, and will stay on the morning show.

WISH and WNDY have already been taken off of both DISH and DIRECTV.
-
According to the Trib, the decision was entirely hers...
-
Jeff Verszyla will be joining WTAE full time as their weekend evening meteorologist starting October 1st. He's been freelancing at the station since July in the same capacity.
-
Oh ok. I doubt it will either, but I was just curious.
-
Where did you hear that?
-
I've always liked that as well. I think they only did that for the noon news though.
-
I seen that tonight. Don't know when that started, but I noticed it this evening. The 12:27 break before Y&R is still there.
-
Yeah I did notice that last part. Hopefully they don't get rid of the RTV6 branding. I like it.
-
I'd like that too, but I doubt it will be him anchoring. If I had to guess, it would be either Ken Rice, Susan Koeppen or both.
-
They should get a chance. I don't know if they will, but they should.

Yeah C Clarity is a really serious downgrade from The Tower. And while the Eyewitness News brand isn't unique to the station like it is for a station such as WABC, they did use it for many years, and I think it just came as a surprise to see it go.- 3594 replies

The graphics do look good. The music still sounds terrible. And 13 News is going to take some getting used to... -

Wow. Never thought I'd see the day when WTHR would drop the Eyewitness News brand. Hopefully it doesn't hurt the station too bad in the long run, but there's a good chance it will. We shall see...- 3594 replies

Other than the anchors distancing themselves on air like other stations have, there aren't changes in terms of expanded newscasts in Pittsburgh yet. Though I expect that to change.
-
That's the best word to describe what has been going on.
-
Maybe this is the reason why CBS Sports HQ is currently being simulcast on CBS Sports Network.
