TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 The same goes with Waco, or more specifically, KWKT and KYLE-TV They haven't made an official announcement on them yet but it should start in Early of 2016, if everything goes well. No exact date yet. So what they recently did in Roanoke, they're going to do it in Huntsville. B&C just posted today that Nexstar is going to start in-house news ops for WZDX with an expansion of its 9pm news to a full hour. It will spend over $3M to update its facilities, reporting capabilities & hire 20 positions for this news expansion. The new in-house newscast on WZDX will debut on April 4, 2016. Don't be surprised if Nexstar does more. With WFXR, WZDX and KWKT all launching news departments, I expect more FOX stations owned by Nexstar to soon have their own news departments as well.

news89 467 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 WOWK has added the Nexstar close to end of newscasts. Since Nexstar is running the 4 WV Media Stations under a time brokerage agreement until FCC gives the blessing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Nexstar is running the 4 WV Media Stations under a time brokerage agreement until FCC gives the blessing. I wonder if the statewide 5:30 newscast will end up simulcasted on WHAG in due time. Currently WJAL relays it for the Eastern Panhandle and I would think that Nexstar might want their newscast on their station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how WFXR in Roanoke went after they started their own news department. That should answer your question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTRF is now YourOhioValley.com. WVNS is now WeAreWVProud.com. WTRF is the only halfway decent one. The others.....well....pretty much are the garbage we have come to expect from Nexstar. Someone should seriously make a website that randomly generates Nexstar-esque web site titles... I find it odd they've kept the Frankly websites.....they must be running out their contract until they get one of their own layouts... 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when you think they couldn't get worse...At least they have a new website layout (though I'm not sure about that, or if they'll switch to an updated version of their rendition of Lakana). Other than that, they're right up there with Sinclair, yet both are below Scripps for worst station group. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven 1944 Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 In Lafayette, KLAF will become an NBC Affiliate, while MyNetworkTV will move to the DT3 subchannel of KADN. KLAF will also have local news by early 2016. Big follow-up regarding KLAF/KADN. After almost a year investing in new equipment & hiring personnel, the station will formally implement its new in-house news operation tomorrow night at 5pm.
