MidwestTV 1232 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 1) I highly doubt any viewers asked for weekend morning news 2) That's the new interview set? That doesn't seem warm or inviting at all. It's just grey.

scrabbleship 429 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Gray invests in expanded news coverage http://www.wabi.tv/video/?vid=468012533 First CBS station in Maine with weekend morning news. As much as WGME is one of Sinclair's darlings, it still doesn't so weekend mornings.

Guest Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 WABI and WCAV are like the two smallest Gray stations there are and yet they get a lot of attention.

GoldenShine9 1513 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 WABI and WCAV are like the two smallest Gray stations there are and yet they get a lot of attention. They have quite a few in markets that are smaller still: KGWN, KCWY, KTVF, WAGM, WTOK, WTAP, KMVT to name a few...

That doesn't seem warm or inviting at all. It's just grey. 1. WLBZ is long-established in having weekend morning news. In fact, before Gannett took over, they even had weekend midday news! 2. It's just Gray. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16185-wabi-starting-weekend-morning-newscast/#findComment-193159 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCJB too in my new home market of Gainesville. If WABI got weekend morning news, then it will be a matter of time before WCJB does the same as well. After all, WOGX just started simulcasting the weekend editions of Good Day Orlando in September of 2017.

CircleSeven 1955 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I'm looking at their livestream now. They must've switched using the new WABI logo for their news graphics, recently. Because back in mid-December, they were still using the old TV5 logo.

Eat News 4745 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 1) I highly doubt any viewers asked for weekend morning news . I have been sending them letters in the mail for years...never any response. Now I learned I could have just emailed them for free. I can't start my busy fun filled weekends unless I'm up to date on the latest overnight dumpster fire...or that Weather Rated 18 day forecast. My bartender can make a Cyclone Bomb...Bomb Cyclone??? Or was that the name of a stripper...??? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/16185-wabi-starting-weekend-morning-newscast/#findComment-193210 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They been using the same music for a while, let them keep it. But it appears they have the Gray graphics, based on that open.
