AKA 38 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 I can't find anything online to link to, but I keep seeing a promo for it on television. KREM, Spokane's Tegna-owned CBS affiliate, will be launching the market's first 4 pm newscast on September 12th. KREM 2 News First at 4 will be anchored by evening anchor Jane McCarthy and chief meteorologist Tom Sherry. It doesn't look like evening anchor Mark Hanrahan will be a part of this newscast, though he anchors the 10 and 11 pm newscasts while McCarthy does not. They're also in the midst of a long overdue studio/set upgrade, which should be completed by the end of August.

DirtyHarry 727 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 4 PM news in Spokane? You have got to be kidding me. What the hell is going on in Spokane that requires two and a half hours of local news in the early evening?

Drew 149 Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 KHQ used to have a 4:30 newscast back in the late 90's early 2000s Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/15308-krem-launching-4-pm-newscast/#findComment-158314 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKA 38 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 KHQ used to have a 4:30 newscast back in the late 90's early 2000s That was actually the second time. The first time they tried it was around 1994. I don't see this getting the ratings Dr. Phil gets in the slot now, but who knows?

TheRolyPoly 2449 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 It won't be an hour-long newscast as some of you may have thought. Read my story about it here which has since been retweeted by KREM 2 and Jane McCarthy. Also been liked by KISC-FM, home to KISS 98.1 and even their owners at TEGNA!

AKA 38 Posted August 25, 2016 Author Share Posted August 25, 2016 Only a half-hour, eh? Weird. I wonder what the heck they're going to put in the 4:30-5 slot. Maybe they'll grab Extra or Access Hollywood, both of which are currently on KSKN.

But beware, it may be a trick to get you to join them in watching that newscast. Those may only be special robots that respond.You should check with your TV co-activist to determine if this is proper operating procedure. Mardek should use his encrypted communication channels to confirm this target is legit and act on instructions of the network.
