KING5 News at 4

K

KMan

Just from perusing a few twitter feeds (i'm in PHX these days) it looks like with little fanfare King 5 started a 4PM newscast two weeks ago.

Again, based on twitter, looks like Joyce Taylor(!), Greg Copeland, Tracy Taylor (traffic) and Jim Guy (weather) are anchoring it. Bounds has been on vacation so the anchor line up has been a little shuffled around but I'm pretty surprised to see Joyce Taylor on at 4PM. It looks like she's still anchoring the morning news... that's a pretty long day.

Any speculation on what this means? Could she be sliding off the morning desk and onto primetime, a slot she's always coveted? Will she split the evening newscasts with Matsukawa?
 
I see that "Dr. Oz" that just premiered on KING from KOMO, just got "held back" to KONG. I think KOMO still has the most 4PM viewers with Mary Nam - and it's been around much longer than KING or even KCPQ's 4pm newscast. I think KOMO's started 10 years ago.

What the hell is "KING 5"? What does it have to do with national television? Can I watch KING 5 on my local television set?
 
A local station in Seattle.
There is ZERO TV forum for Seattle so it goes in National TV, because if we put it in the Seattle-Tacoma forums, the business people would yell and whine about it. "THIS IS A RADIO BOARD!!" Wah wah. Illinois can have it's own TV board but not Seattle or even Pacific Northwest for that matter. Very weird.

And people wonder why I keep urging the powers that be to allow local TV discussion to co-exist alongside local radio discussions.

Ask the moderators.

After a decade of discussing TV topics within the Seattle Radio board, suddenly the TV topics are being moved here ... a board for National TV issues.

We'd be happy to have this thread back in the Seattle Radio board.

That would be cool, except it would be greeted with comments such as "Why isn't this on a TV board? This is a RADIO board!" or "Why can't you people take your TV, engineering, signal analysis, and dx reports elsewhere?" or my favourite "This board is no longer relevant because we are not discussing someone who was on the radio in Seattle in 1947."

That is a bit of an dramatization, but you get the joke. I think its pretty easy just to leave those threads on the Seattle forum if people want to read it and talk about it.
