On another note, there are several newscast changes coming this fall other than the few mentioned on this thread and a couple others (coming from TVNewsCheck and WSVNFan's Changing Newscasts Blog): * WUAB will reduce its 10:00 p.m. newscast to a half-hour after 27 years as a one-hour broadcast (it will also be cut to weeknights only), while also launching an hour-long 9:00 p.m. newscast starting September 21; Sports Extra will move to 9:45 p.m. MyNetworkTV programming will be shifted to 11:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. as a result. * WLUK will expand its weekday morning and late-evening news blocks on September 21, extending Good Day Wisconsin by a half-hour to 4:30 a.m. and adding a half-hour 10:00 p.m. newscast (the first time WLUK has aired news in that timeslot in more than a decade, if anyone knows when the original 10:00 p.m. newscast was cancelled, please reply). * WDRB will expanded its midday newscast to an hour on September 21, now running from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.; it is also cancelling the 7:00 p.m. newscast it produces for CW-affiliated sister station WBKI, after the September 18 broadcast. * WECT will launch an hour-long 4:00 p.m. newscast on September 14. * WXXV will launch a weekday morning newscast on September 21, under the title News 25 Today, consisting of an hour-long 6:00 a.m. newscast on WXXV-DT2 and a 7:00 a.m. newscast of the same length on its main channel. * Newsfix is expanding on both KDAF and KIAH. KDAF has expanded the weeknight edition of the program's 5:00 p.m. broadcast to one hour as of Monday (September 7); the weekend 5:00 p.m. newscast had already ran for one hour even prior to the conversion to the Newsfix format, with the 5:30 p.m. slot being occupied on weeknights by syndicated programming. KIAH will also add a 10:00 p.m. edition of Newsfix on September 14. * WNCN has re-expanded its weekday morning newscast into the 4:30 a.m. half-hour as of Monday, after having dropped that portion of the program in January 2014. * KXII has dropped its hour-long 7:00 a.m. morning newscast for its Fox-affiliated subchannel KXII-DT3. However, unlike with WFOX and WEVV-DT2 (which air both a simulcast of their parent station's morning newscasts and an exclusive newscast after 7:00 a.m.), the station has replaced it with a simulcast of the 5:00-7:00 a.m. newscast seen on KXII's main channel. * KQDS will alter the scheduling of its morning newscast on September 21, dropping the 6:30 a.m. half-hour and simultaneously adding an hour to the tail-end of the program at 8:00 a.m. * KAAL will debut a half-hour newscast at 6:30 p.m. each weeknight starting September 14. * KVAL (and satellites KCBY and KPIC) will debut an hour-long morning newscast at 9:00 a.m., starting September 14. * WDAY will begin simulcasting its 6:00 p.m. newscast on sister stations KBMY in Bismarck and KMCY in Minot, as well as on its WDAY/WDAZ Xtra subchannel on Monday through Saturday evenings starting September 14. You are good at this. I thank you for reading my blog. A few corrections... 1) WECT 6's new 4:00 p.m. newscast is a half-hour, not a full hour. Inside Edition will air instead at 4:30 p.m. 2) WDAY'Z Xtra already simulcasted WDAY 6's 6:00 p.m. newscast, but it will just be extended to the Central and Western North Dakota on KBMY/KMCY.

Just to let you know... KTVU 2 is not airing "FOX NFL Kickoff" next Sunday, moving it to KICU 36, in favor of KTVU Mornings on 2 and KTVU FOX 2 Sports Weekend while KPTV 12 is putting "FOX NFL Kickoff" on sister station KPDX 49, in favor of the 8:00 a.m. hour of Good Day Oregon. I'm not sure if anybody else is doing something like this.

I have been waiting for something like that since forever! I say... IT'S ABOUT DAMN TIME! :-D Very excited and happy to hear this.

At 6:00 p.m., put MSNBC LIVE or The News with Brian Williams.

Basically... KTVU against KRON in BOTH weekday and weekend mornings (BOTH air from 4:00-10:00am Weekdays and 7:00-10:00am Weekends. Coincidence? I'm not sure.)

And then hopefully, WRDW can put up their 24-hour local weather channel again on 12.2

Give WEAR 3 props for continuing to fly the seagull to reflect Northwest Florida.

Or take the KPTV/KPDX route and do 8 AND 9pm newscasts. If that was to happen, then the 9pm news on WUAB would be history.

If they did put a 6:30pm newscast, they would just lose in the ratings to news powerhouse WJW 8. Plus, they still lose in the morning news ratings to WJW 8, so even if CLE 43 added morning news at 8am and added a 6:30pm weeknight newscast, they would lose super badly to WJW 8. They would only win at 9pm.

It was never failed. It was moved because it acquired the MyNetwork TV affiliation from WBIN in 2011.

Trust me. They'll go with News 6, and not with that slogan. I reported on this, FIRST, days ago on my blog.

It's also WCAV's currently logo, but without the "WCAV" part and the blue/gold look.

Where did you hear that from?

If I was WGN, I would keep an eye on this.

Raycom Media is on an expanding newscast spree, just in time for the new TV season: [MEDIA=twitter]634442034074488832[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]634528946437115905[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]634536875143921664[/MEDIA]

Cleveland 19 News logo = reminds me of a different station that used to have this look. CLE 43 logo = reminds me of Telefutura (now UniMas)

I strongly do. I remember watching it a few times. That was when WKMG dropped the 4, 5 and 5:30 in 2009 to deliver an hour-long 6pm newscast. Now it seems like its reversed, plus an additional newscast at 7pm because WKMG already brought back the 5 and 5:30 and soon, they'll be bringing back the 4pm again.

Don't forget WDIV, which still uses the Local brand as well as WPLG. WJXT uses "The Local Station" while KSAT 12, like KPRC 2, doesn't have the word "Local" anywhere, anymore.

prior to March 1980, when WGN had a 10:00 p.m. newscast called Nightbeat (it was on at 12 Midnight, but then moved to 10:00 p.m. later) and also had John Drury and Newsnine. The complete and full story is on my Changing Newscasts Blog (@ChangeNewsBlog | #ChangingNewscasts)

I hate reading books, but this makes me wanna get a copy of the book, even though I don't live in Philadelphia.

Seems like you've read my blog... :-)

I guess The FAB Life ?

KFSN is the only one that doesn't do so. I see WSB and WFTV and in reality, any other ABC affiliates because ABC doesn't have a strict requirement to air JKL, I think, unlike CBS and NBC, which do have strict requirements to air their late night programming on both networks.

That's something I wish Homer Simpson had. Imagine that... Meet MSNBC's newest Senior Food Analyst... Homer Simpson! Homer: "Mmmmm.......... Donuts!"
