They wouldn't be doing this if the infomercials would generate more revenue than recycled news. And remember, the newscasts in those new blocks will be reaching viewers who either have no idea that they're prerecorded or don't care that they are, having missed the newscasts when they ran live. The advertisers who support the live news will probably stay on board for the reruns.Gets Better - From 12:35am to 5:00am they are replaying News at 10 and News at 11 over and over in 3 blocks! WTF? Droiping informericals for news replays - can they make more money that way?

Consider how major local TV stations has to survive today. If a local TV station is too dependent on Syndicated programming then they run into having a high median age demo and run the risk of being killed off. We are dealing with syndicated shows that can mainly be seen on Youtube, Tubi, Pluto, Freevee while the prime time shows goes to the flagship apps like Disney+, Hulu, Peacock, Paramount+, Amazon Prime and Vix (TV App owned by Univision).That's too much news.
