WSB started a temporary 3pm newscast this week, lasting until the midterms are over. As a result, Tamron Hall is bumped until 1:36am.

And they outright admitted it's for political ad revenue:

I noticed that starting next week WDCA's 9PM newscast is moving to 8:30. So between Fox and DC News Now there's news on anytime between 4PM and Midnight.

On October 10th, WTIC will add an hour-long 6pm newscast:

DC:

WRC: The post-Days/post-Ellen early afternoon lineup is 12pm: NBC News Now, 1pm: Access Daily, 2pm: Kelly, 3pm: Dateline. So unlike the other O&O's they didn't move Kelly to 3pm. And Days aired at 1pm.

WTTG: A late-morning spinoff of local 7pm show Like It or Not airs at 11am. Then it's Sherri at 12pm and Jennifer Hudson at 1pm. Just like in Orlando, I still see Nick Cannon scheduled, staying at 2pm. Tamron Hall, which aired at 1pm, is now on at 2pm on WDCA.

WJLA: The first half hour of Drew Barrymore stays at 3pm while the second half-hour is at 1:36 am. Daytime Jeopardy will air at 3:30.

WUSA: No changes.
