Hard news. No interviews, no fluff. Its straight news the entire time from 5-11 a.m. WSVN is a station that doesn't do heavy fluff.

Not counting Deco Drive.

 

It's surpising to me that a vibrant area like Miami, there is no fluff morning newscast. Almost every station in both Miami and overlapping West Palm Beach has a 9am show, and they are all hard news. SVN being a tabloid brand is in the perfect position to do that.

That is surprising, usually from 7-9 am, and 9am afterwards, the content outside of the top and bottom of the hour gets lighter with lots of banter, "roving reporter" content and some stations like WGN making it all their own.  I like their "9 at 9" countdown of stuff at 9am.

 

Smaller markets, especially those that are duopoly partners tend to keep it more newsy if they're counter programming the national shows.

Watching WGN now during their "9 at 9" countdown and they are blowing past the "15 second" rule on content.  They must have an expansive royalty budget, and I'm glad that Nexstar hasnt clamped down on it like they and others have done in recent years!

 

WJW has been another that has frequently used a lot of popular music as bumpers in their shows, but this may be sort of a package they buy that has the music pre-cleared.
