Because there was nothing else to watch, I watched channel 15 at 4 and am now going for the 4:30 news on channel 3.
The lead of the newscast is a "First Look at 4:30" segment from Carey Peña. All it was: headlines and "we'll have the full story tonight at 5". It was a two-minute long tease for their 5pm! The only males so far (after the first segment) have been one or two local reporters.
Both stations also did brief segments in remembrance of the helicopter crash. Channel 3's segment had an old picture of their chopper (so old it had the old-style NEWSCHANNEL print on it, curvy S included) that I'd bet dates from the early 90s even to the late 80s (KTVK's heyday, too).
15 at 4 had nearly a whole block of "Internet-weird" category stories, then the weather report. Weather segments were comparable but the extended forecasts were different - 3 had sunny and 97 while 15 had temperatures in the 100s and a chance of rain for Saturday.
The last block on 15 was health news and one last check of the top stories. On 3, a different set of health stories was at the last block, then a last tease for their 5pm news.
3 had some stories not seen on 15: flood warnings in northern AZ, the shelter closure in Flagstaff, a flying object at the space station, food inspections at stadiums, Joe Biden's visit to the Grand Canyon, Ecuadorian visa issues, West Nile Virus,
15 had a story on a woman with a transplant playing in the Transplant Games.
