WHDH:
10 PM-12 AM

WFXT:
No Scheduled Additional Coverage
 
WFXT has laid off so many people, it can't offer much more than what what they're doing now.
 
A follow-up to my WFXT observation: Jim Armstrong, a former reporter for WFXT did Skype reports on the NH election results on WBZ-TV Tuesday night. I don't know if he's been hired by WBZ or was doing a one-off report for this occasion.
 
More anti-WFXT stuff: Jessica Heslam has an article in today's (11/4) Chicopee Herald with the ratings for local TV coverage of election results. Depending on whether you're dealing with total viewership of viewers in the demo, WCVB-TV and WBZ-TV did well; WHDH somewhat less well, in spite of simulcasting on channels 41 and 42...WFXT, really poorly. I suspect that people may be aware that channel 31 has cut way back on staffing at its news department.
 
You mean 7 & 56? None of the regular viewers actually see the digital channel, so you may as well just call it by the PSIP number. If you really want to get technical I suppose you could say 7.1 and 56.1
