World News dos a east coast and a west coast edition at 7:30 P.M. during a short time during the worse of the Pandemic. Though I’m not sure if that was limited to ABC owned stations like WTVD, and KABC or both owned and affialties.

I remember in the 2010's, any time something really big happened, all of the Big Three evening news programs would do optional hour editions. I specifically remember Sandy Hook, the 2013 Moore, Oklahoma tornadoes, the 2016 San Bernardino shooting, and the death of Nelson Mandela all being covered in special hour-long editions. However, I don't recall any of the three doing this since the 2017 Las Vegas shooting. Was this the first time any of them did an hour edition since then? Las Vegas ABC did a full hour. 2016 election CBS and NBC day after hour-long. Boston Marathon ABC, NBC, CBS hour long. CBS I think went to 8pm. Hurricane Sandy I think ABC did a full hour one time. And Osama Bin Laden Death day after ABC did a full-hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MediaZone4K 946 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 I dont mind the iconic 1a pulling double duty, but its current incarnation doesnt look good. It's barely even a set, just a barren vat of video walls. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrogo 141 Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 My guess is they are getting 1A ready for election coverage and need to get lighting, flooring and other elements in place. Hopefully Nightly moves to 3K when WNBC vacates it, NN deserves a real set and one the network can use for other coverage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MediaZone4K 946 Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 (edited) Wow! First Pete Williams now Kerry Sanders, not to mention Chuck Henry at KNBC and other vets retiring from NBC. For years I knew Kerry as the Florida guy! Wishing him the best. I wonder if Andrea Mitchell will call it quits next, and many have asked about WNBC's Churck Scarborough. Hopefully they dont.

JTT 21 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Will the network evening newscast expand to 1 hour on a regular basis? I don't believe they will in the near future because they're investing in other news programs for their online and streaming news sites. Maybe in a few years when the networks are in desperate need of more programming, they will put 1 hour editions of the evening news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be nice and a good use of time. However, with news divisions running on tighter budgets and being asked to do more with less, I fear that more time for the evening programs will just mean more light news, extreme weather, viral videos and content traditionally seen on morning programs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
