mbhcity 3 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 Variety is reporting KTLA is adding weekend morning news to its lineup with newscasts on Saturdays from 5am-7am, and Sundays from 6am-9am. Chris Burrous is leaving WPIX to anchor the show.
SFTV 529 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 6 to 9am is alright, 7 to 10am is more legit. KUSI is 6 to 10am on weekends but 5 to 7am?! is anyone even awake on saturdays besides for the marathon runners? or they just coming home from partying? lol. Sunday i know the early birds wake up early for church and what not. so thats fine.
News4LA 0 Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 A lot of changes at KTLA lately. First Chris Schauble (formerly KNBC) joining KTLA Weekday Morning News (5am-7am), Dayna Devon (formerly ExtraTV) co-anchoring with Micah this week, and now this? And I agree with SanDiegoTV, Why are they doing a 5am newscast on Saturday???

And I agree with SanDiegoTV, Why are they doing a 5am newscast on Saturday??? SanDiegoTV & News4LA: Remember, The CW has children's programming (Toonzai, formerly The CW4Kids) on Saturday mornings. KTLA will be putting the newscast in the 5-7am timeslot.
mbhcity 3 Posted March 25, 2011 Author Posted March 25, 2011 Also KABC has been doing a 5am newscast for years with good ratings as well as a Saturday Noon show, so a little more competition there with KTLA in the mix. I remember KTTV trying a Good Day LA show on Sundays with Nischelle Turner, Gina Silva and Rob Weller (of Entertainment Tonight fame)...it didn't work.
TheNewsInsider 0 Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I hope Dayna gets hired full time at KTLA. She's a really good anchor. Plus with KTLA doing 5-7AM Saturday the'll give KABC some competition.
CalItalian2 163 Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 The newscast is being promoted and is on the schedule for only 1 hour this Saturday, 6-7 am. Father Knows Best is scheduled from 5-6 am.
