There's clearly a typo there but at last check, I've heard of no plans for KWGN or KDVR to add a 4:00pm newscast.

 

And even if they did, they would be clearly beat by KUSA's established 4:00pm news.

 

Amazing how so off-topic this has gotten but the 4pm is just weird to me since I've heard of no announcement.

I have some news to clear all this confusion and because I'm a blogposter on The Changing Newscasts Blog, I had to investigative and figure all this out. Here's what "KWGN Denver" has told me on Facebook through a PM:

 

"Hi Roly - Yes, we are adding a 4pm newscast sometime this summer!"

 

Boom! Even I get the dirt that these big guys (TVSpy, TVNewsCheck, FTVLive) can't.

Boom! I live in Denver and don't care. It will fail.

Good Job Roly.;)

I know. KUSA is just too good at 4:00pm and in all of their timeslots.

 

No, KUSA has just too good of a community outreach department! Their news product is mediocre and they know that, but their community outreach department is where they shine.

Finally found where Jennifer went -- she's at KPRC in Houston -- she's co-hosting Houston Live with Derrick Shore -- not even doing meteorology nor is she listed on the site for news bios... Interesting change of pace.
