ABC-15 to begin Midday News Show

[ihEARDtHAT]

ABC-15 will begin a midday news show starting July 9th at 11:00am. Looks like the whole morning crew will be on hand for this hour long show.

The article claims "The program will be the only midday news broadcast in the Valley." Um, no, NOON is in fact "midday". It will be the only 11am broadcast in the Valley. Do these reporters actually check the facts?

I emailed the author of the story about this and he is correcting the article.

The way things are going local television will soon be all news except when they are not running infomercials.

Too many hours, too little news.

I guess Right This Minute is canceled and what about ABC's The Revolution that airs at 1pm? Will they keep ABC 15 Now @ 3pm??

ABC recently announced that they were cancelling "The Revolution".

I think Now @ 3 is gone after the summer. I wonder if Susan Casper will be staying around ABC15.

...which will be replaced by the summer series "Good Afternoon America", a spinoff of Good Morning America. GAA starts on July 9 and will only air until September, when ABC yields an hour of network programming to local affiliates.

ABC15 is still airing the three-hour "RTM" marathon (plus a "preview" episode of "Motion" from the subchannel no one watches, Live Well Network) on Saturday late nights but I don't know for how long. It seems like a waste of transmitter power. Are all the good weekend movie packages picked over?
