7 P.M. News

The King Bee said:
WAVE-TV's 7-7:30 pm local news marks the end of a long early evening news slot in the Louisville market, which begins at 4 pm with the Fox affiliate, WDRB, after a 3-4 pm lead in of "The Doctors." This market, by the way, has a reputation for excellent local newscasts that goes back into the Fifties.

The 3.5 hours is a lot of news (ABC, CBS, and NBC national newscasts all air at 6:30 pm), but the audience is there throughout. The 4-5 pm lead-in for the ABC affiliate (WHAS) is "Oprah," for the CBS (WLKY) is "The Young and The Restless," and for the NBC (WAVE) it's "Ellen."

The WAVE 7PM newscast cannot compete with the syndicated gameshow combo of "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy".

Not surprising; WLKY has turned into a powerhouse
from 4-8 ever since it moved "Y&R" to 4. I don't
think (correct me on this) it runs worse than second
in any timeslot during that four-hour block.
