MediaZone4K 1509 Posted January 12 Author Share Posted January 12 (edited) WAGA like other O&O's brands their 11pm newscast as "NewsEdge". Does the branding mean anything? I ask because Fox 5 News Edge at 11 doesnt seem to differ in format from typical newscasts. Confusingly News Edge is also a online news service from the Fox News Channel.

Is it like the 'scrippscast' with a mix of national and local stories? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. seems like a standard newscast to me. EDIT: Some insight finally, sister station Fox 26 Houston explains their NewsEdge as a faster paced look at local news, so I suppose that means the same thing on WAGA.

cg41386 131 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) WTTG used to use NewsEdge for some of their newscasts, and WOFL and WJBK (The Edge) currently use it. It's nothing new. Edited January 14 by cg41386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it was any different from a standard newscast, but apparently it's "faster paced". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
