TheMightyGringoChannel 0 Posted December 29, 2006 Share Posted December 29, 2006 Bob Feder reported in his Sun Times column yesterday, that after four months, WMAQ will be going back to their old 4:30 slot for news. WMAQ will move Extra back to it's original 4PM slot, citing that viewers prefer Extra over News at 4. Personally I think it's because NBC5 is getting killed by Dr. Phil and ABC7 News at 4. http://www.suntimes.com/business/feder/188764,CST-FIN-feder28.article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WXmanTim 88 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 NBC 5 seems to bounce their afternoon newscast between the two slots every couple years. Didn't they expand it to an hour at one point in the late-90s only to cut it back to 30-minutes after a year or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 11AM newscast already was cancelled a couple times in the past decade only to come back not so long later. NBC 5 is also expanding their morning news to start at 4:30AM which will be anchored solo by Bruce Wolf (in his own style too) until 5:00AM.
