Suddenly and without warning, today's scheduled Channel 4 Midday News was pulled and replaced with an hour of infomercials! Nothing on their website about it, I don't know if any news is being run on Channel 4.2 at this hour, but have things gotten that bad in Downtown Burbank that a newscast in a Major Market has to be replaced with an hour of direct marketing pitches?

It's on the schedule now. 11 AM Channel 4 News. 11:30 AM Informercial.
I prefer ABC 7 Eyewitness News which is the time period winner by far. Channel 4 just ain't what it use to be.

Here on Saturday night @ 6:30 PM, ALL 3 network O&O's are running infomercials. Channel 4 dumped the second have hour of local news for "Life Polaties". Channel 2 has replaced Entertainment Tonight with "Life Relief". ABC replaced Eye on L.A. tonight with Time Life music. DISGUSTING.

It's really sad for people who don't have cable or satellite. There's almost always something on USA or TNT to watch.

Just correcting myself, Channel 4 aired "Malibu Polaties", not "Life Polaties". As far as I can tell, no other local station has dumped news in favor of an infomercial. KABC has even expanded their Saturday morning news to 8 am, which started as a 1/2 hour recently and now is a full hour. They continue to air their 12 noon Saturday news as well, as long as there is not any conflicting ABC sports programming in addition to the 5-7AM Saturday news (and now 8-9 AM Saturday news after Good Morning America Saturday).4UH8SIMBKAGN said:
