They did. They had Ross Palombo doing it for them until he left for KCBS/KCAL and the role hasn't been filled since, I believe.

I know WPLG also has correspondents in Washington as well as Havana, Cuba.

They once did in Cuba but I think its been shut down. They also once had correspondents in Venezuela and Colombia. They weren't shared bureaus either, they were WPLG's own in-house news bureaus in those countries but I think they've since closed them due to the political climate in those countries as well as here.

WPLG has announced their post-ABC news schedule:

 

Weekdays:

  • 4:30-11am
  • noon-1pm
  • 3-7pm
  • 9-11:30pm

Weekends:

  • 5-11am
  • 5-7pm
  • 9-9:30pm
  • 11-11:30pm

There will also be half-hour sports shows Saturdays at 9:30pm and 11:30pm and a 9:30pm show on Sundays in addition to the existing 11:30pm Sports Sunday.

I cannot think of anything more value destructive. Just because Ed Ansin got away with it twice doesn't mean it can work when the product is diluted this much. In a billingual market, no less.

 

Honestly I wouldn't be surprised to see Warren Buffett take the L after a year or two and unload WPLG to Mission so Nexstar can have a CW O&O for Miami. He's had some bad business moves re: media (buying the Media General newspaper chain, helping Scripps buy Ion) but this might be the biggest oopsie.
