9.5 hours of daily local news

R

RickRose

I just read that South Florida's Fox station is adding another half-hour of local news at 4:30pm. 7NEWS had recently expanded to 9 hours of local news a day and now the station adds 30 more minutes on top of that. Is this the most local news of any tv station in America? When you add in the Daily infotainment program "Deco Drive" WSVN broadcasts 10 hours of local programming a day.

7NEWS TODAY IN FLORIDA 5-9am
7NEWS at Noon 12-1pm
7NEWS 4-7pm
7NEWS 10-11:30
 
Hi everyone:

I think the two Gannett stations here in Denver probably rivals that. Here's their newscast lineup....

SUNDAY:
=======

7:00 AM - 9:00 AM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9 (NBC)
5:00 PM - 6:00 PM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9 (Was on MyNetwork affiliate sister station KTVD 20 during regular NFL season)
9:00 PM - 9:30 PM - 9NEWS on KTVD 20
10:00 PM - 10:35 PM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9

MONDAY-FRIDAY:
=============

5:00 AM - 7:00 AM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9
7:00 AM - 9:00 AM - 9NEWS on KTVD 20
12:00 NOON - 12:30 PM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9
4:00 PM - 5:30 PM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9
6:00 PM - 6:30 PM - 9NEWS on KUSA 9
9:00 PM - 9:30 PM - 9NEWS on KTVD 20

The Saturday newscast schedule basically follows the Sunday schedule above.

Cheers :D

Dallas-Fort Worth has quite a bit for the news junkies:

5am - 7am KDFW/4, KXAS/5, WFAA/8, KTVT/11
7am - 9am 4's news continued
9am - 10am 8 (if you want to call this one a newscast)
10am - 11am 5
12pm - 12:30pm 4, 8
12:30pm - 1pm 8's news continued
4pm - 4:30pm 5, 11
4:30pm - 5pm 5's news continued
5pm - 5:30pm 4, 5, 8, 11, KUVN/23 (Spanish), KXTX/39 (Spanish)
5:30pm - 6pm 4's news continued
6pm - 6:30pm 4, 5, 8, 11
7pm - 9pm KTXA/21
9pm - 9:30pm 4, 23, KDAF/33, 39

10pm - 10:30(35)pm 4, 5, 8, 11
12:35am - 1:10am 8, 11 (repeat of 10pm)
1am - 2am 4 (repeat of 9pm)
3am - 4am 4 (repeat of 9pm, again)

Added together (not counting weekends), by my calculations, this is **30 1/2** hours of daily news programs (KDFW/4 - 9 1/2 hours, KXAS/5 - 5 1/2 hrs, WFAA/8 - 6 hrs, KTVT/11 - 4 1/2 hrs, KTXA/21 - 2 hrs, KUVN/23 - 1 hr, KDAF/33 - 1 hr, KXTX/39 - 1 hr).
