Fox and CBS stations who do halftime newsbreaks during NFL late games

Every week, during halftime of the 4:25 pm NFL late games, Fox or CBS affiliates will do a local newsbreak or continue with the halftime show from the studio. Which stations do the newsbreaks?

Here in Dallas, both KDFW (Fox) and KTVT (CBS) do the newsbreaks. KDFW even does it during halftime of Fox College Football night games.
 
WHBQ and WREG Memphis. WREG also did newsbreaks at halftime of CBS' Thursday Night Football games.

Are there any NBC affiliates who do newsbreaks during Sunday Night Football?
 
CBS stations generally have Sunday night newscasts and when CBS does not have a late afternoon game, they do a Sunday evening local newscast. Apparently, somebody decided that when there is a late afternoon game, they should get some local news in.

What I have always found curious is on Sundays, CBS runs the network news at 6:00 and the local news at 6:30 - not the other way around as they do every other day of the week. NBC and ABC stay with the usual local first - then network order.
 
The CBS station in the Mobile, Alabama-Pensacola, Florida TV market (WKRG-TV) usually had Sunday editions of "The CBS Evening News" broadcast in recorded form between 5:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. in order to have Sunday editions of their local 5:00 p.m. news program between 5:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m.
 
Here in Oklahoma City KWTV does the local news insert at Halftime before going to the CBS Halftime show, KOKH doesn't do it as it only has the early evening newscast on weekdays. Additionally when they're airing a late afternoon game their 5:30pm newscast is aired on News 9 Now on 9.2 digital sub channel, next fall however it would not surprise me if they were to move the Sunday newscast at 5:30 from News 9 Now on 9.2 to KSBI.
