Bsean 165 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I just saw a promo saying that World News is moving to 6:30p. I wonder what the motive is for this is. I know it has something to do with Kimberly Hunt's return to the station. The move is to take place on the same day of her debut, January 28.
A3N 1002 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I just saw a promo saying that World News is moving to 6:30p. I wonder what the motive is for this is. I know it has something to do with Kimberly Hunt's return to the station. The move is to take place on the same day of her debut, January 28. It's probably to get viewers to tune into their new 7pm newscast that will be anchored by Kimberly Hunt and Steve Atkinson. They are getting rid of Live at 5:30 and putting on Who wants to be a millionaire in that time slot, then they are flip flopping LIVE at 6:30 with World News. I think that KGTV is making a mistake by changing its schedule. It is the content not the time that makes people watch their programs. That station is in the crapper and by moving the schedule around, they will confuse a lot of people and they will just tune out. What 10NEWS needs to do is get rid of all those inexperienced VJ's, DC's, one man bands or whatever the hell they call them and keep the experienced people there. Bringing back Kimberly Hunt is a good move, but it will not drastically improve their product. Let's hope that McGraw Hill sells the station, and soon (hopefully to ABC). The San Diego Union Tribune has an article in regards to all the schedule changes.http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/features/20080112-9999-1c12tvbriefm.html

mbhcity 3 Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I don't know why but after all the trips to San Diego, I have come to realize that the newscast's there are far worse than what we get here in LA, and LA has also become a joke in its own right. Case in Point 10-4 San Diego. Besides, who the hell decides to put a show like Millionaire at 5:30p on an ABC affiliate, when it can be best suited for News. Oh, well, at least LA is not the only one to air WNT at 6:30p.

Oh, well, at least LA is not the only one to air WNT at 6:30p. Well the problem with 10-4 San Diego was that it was not planned out very well. It was a nice concept, but management did not execute it well. As for Millionaire at 5:30, it's kind of stupid that they would put it in that time slot, but after thinking about it for a while I came up with this conclusion: KGTV wants to attract viewers to their new 7pm newscast, so they put Charlie Gibson on at 6:30 as a lead in to the new newscast. However, they are going to get some stiff competition for the 6:30pm slot as KFMB has the most viewed newscast in that time slot. Anywho, KGTV is crumbling, so I doubt this 7pm newscast will last. I will give it until late May and the schedules will return to normal.
