mre29 1340 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 If you think starting news at 4:00 p.m. is early, then try starting at 3:00 p.m. WBBH is the next station to do it. (I would use my Twitter but the account is locked out at the moment). Well, all those retirees have to have something to watch... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s a first in the Eastern Time Zone; the only other one I know of is WTMJ. Now we need to see how long it’s kept after the election. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J1975am 208 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 I think it’s a first in the Eastern Time Zone; the only other one I know of is WTMJ. They used to, but not anymore. WTMJ runs "Pickler and Ben" in that slot (according to TitanTV). They dropped the 3p newscast in 2015; this decision was in the works before Scripps bought WTMJ and the Journal stations.....

JoseRM303 169 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Kaley O'Kelly who most recently was main co-anchor at CBS DFW is heading back to Phoenix and to KNXV a station she worked at previously and will be morning co-anchor: http://www.ftvlive.com/sqsp-test/2018/6/12/anchor-shake-up-in-phoenix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisC-R 15 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I think it’s a first in the Eastern Time Zone; the only other one I know of is WTMJ. Sinclair's CBS12 in West Palm Beach has a 3pm newscast, but it's only a half hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgie56 3059 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 Wonder if Live w Kelly & Ryan eventually moves to WFAA. Even in a consistent third place, Good Morning Texas is still a moneymaker for Channel 8. They won't get rid of that for Kelly & Ryan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

east-tx-tv 105 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 So many FOX O&Os are expanding newscasts on their stations, and you can add KDFW to the list. After recently expanding Good Day DFW to a 4AM start, KDFW now is elongating back to the end of the show as well. Starting in September, KDFW FOX4 will extend the locally produced, #1 rated program to 10AM while pushing Live with Kelly and Ryan out of the 9AM time slot it has long held since Regis and Kathy Lee. The show will move to 10AM under current plans. http://unclebarky.com/dfw_files/14dc89079efbff9cc26289ea8a82b3c1-4207.html The 4am start is one thing, but the additional hour to 10am is probably a bit much. Since Kelly & Ryan will move to 10am, it will be interesting to see what KDFW does at 11am. Wendy? The Real? I guess Uncle Barky didn't know that one yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1290 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The 6 hour blocks of news on most Fox O&Os is insane. Not sure why KDFW would fix something that wasn’t broken. And how does Good Day Dallas work? Do Tim and Lauren anchor all 5 hours currently? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.L. Hughes 746 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 The 6 hour blocks of news on most Fox O&Os is insane. Not sure why KDFW would fix something that wasn’t broken. And how does Good Day Dallas work? Do Tim and Lauren anchor all 5 hours currently? Apparently, yes. However, Fox O&Os have tended to use two sets of anchors on their weekday morning newscasts in some markets (some ex-O&Os like WDAF-TV still do that as well); so it's possible that Ryan and Pryzybyl will be shifted off at least part of the 4:00 to 7:00 a.m. portion of the newscast, to make way for additional anchors. The reports did say that KDFW was planning on adding staff for the expanded broadcast. The only existing newscasts I would foresee KDFW expanding in the near future would be the noon news (to an hour) and the 10:00 p.m. news (to weekend evenings). Sorry for the double post but, KDFW just calls it Good Day. Yep. Though the newscast was titled Good Day Dallas from c. 1997-2004. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningNews 1290 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 KHOU (CBS) in Houston has fired traffic reporter Darby Douglas for the second time.

Speaking of Mike Doocy, he hosting a new locally produced half-hour program called "Free 4 All" weeknights at 10:30PM this fall. The station will be dropping 10:30PM repeats of Modern Family to accommodate the new show. http://unclebarky.com/dfw_files/10ddb1d1dcb355ec1a35dc61176c95de-4208.html 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever did expand the 10:00 p.m. news to weekends, they could move Sports Sunday to 9:30 or 10:30. A few of Fox's O&O's (such as KTVU and KSAZ) already air their Sunday sports wrap-up shows after local newscasts aired in the traditional 10:00 (Central/Mountain)/11:00 p.m. (Eastern/Pacific) timeslot.

TheRolyPoly 1844 Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 My apologies if this is in the wrong thread (and move it if its in the wrong thread) but... It looks like MTV-U is about to be redundant. Cheddar has bought the transponder system that broadcasts MTV-U and will replace it with CheddarU. For the record, MTV-U isn't dead but its more redundant now as CheddarU has already started broadcasting. https://www.cordcuttersnews.com/viacom-is-selling-mtv-campus-networks-to-cheddar/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like domestic violence cases...you get the heck out of the situation first. You don't stick around any longer hoping things will get better.

MikePulse 315 Posted June 14, 2018 Share Posted June 14, 2018 #MeanwhileInOrlando, WKMG (News6GettingResults) expands to the 9:00am hour next month. All three of their anchors - Bridgett Ellison, Julie Broughton, and Candace Campos - share different experiences and specialities, but also are working mothers, which, according to GM Jeff Hoffman, “allow them to use the breadth of their knowledge to ask questions and get answers that will ultimately get results for all of our viewers.” The new newscast will debut July 2, with solely Broughton and Campos (Ellison is currently on maternity leave after welcoming her second child). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost all stations in that market have extended morning newscasts. Guess WKMG wanted to join the party. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
