WXLV/45, ABC in Greensboro/Winston-Salem/High Point, flopped
twice: once with its own newscast, then with Sinclair's News Central.
It runs Family Feud at 6 and South Park at 11.

Hi everyone:
> CBS - Detroit
You can also include its UPN sister station in Detroit too.
> ABC - St. Louis
You can also add Topeka, KS in the mix as well as ABC49 (call letters escape me at the moment) dropped its news in late 2004 or 2005 (give or take a month or so)
> NBC - Baton Rouge
> FOX - Buffalo (It would have been Pittsburg if you include
> no local production)
Many FOX affiliates either don't have news, outsource it from other local stations or have it produced by their duopoly sister station.
Also, speaking of UPN....FTR, VERY few UPN affiliates have news. Those that do more than likely either outsource it from other local stations or have it produced by their duopoly sister station. In fact, NONE of the UPN O&Os carry news (INCLUDING WOR 9 in New York & KCOP 13 in Los Angeles)
Same holds true for WB affiliates, though The WB doesn't have any O&Os per se.
Just figured I'd post that little tidbit of information.

To be accurate, CBS Detroit never had a stand alone newscast, their 11pm newser
was produced by its sister station UPN Detroit
was produced by its sister station UPN Detroit

Not anymore. KTKA 49 was bought by the Lawrence Journal World if I remember correctly. It's now doing news having just started a few weeks ago.

Some corrections:
It is WWOR, and they aren't a UPN o&o, they are owned by NewsCorp and they have news, 7 days a week at 10PM. They share some resources with WNYW, but it is a totally different newscast.

WKBD-Detroit's News Tragedy

Well, I'm sure we all know by now the New World deal was devastating to CBS in with its move to WGPR/WWJ, but perhaps fewer know about the WKBD disaster in 2001/2002. WWJ launched an 11 o'clock newscast that was produced by WKBD, which at the time had a successful news department for 15 years, used on both Fox and UPN(infact WKBD had been a strong Fox affiliate). The WWJ production flopped; WWJ lost news, WKBD shut down because of mismanagement. There was an attempt from WXYZ to produce news on WKBD, but it failed and ended. Thus the end to news on WKBD.
And with the Detroit market now averaging less than 3% growth rate, I doubt many new viewers are coming into the market. But that is another story.

It's KTKA. And it brought back local news about a month ago. Huge uphill battle ahead against WIBW.

24/51 Fort Smith-Rogers, Ark. (NBC) didn't for a couple of years before they brought it back. They ran a five-minute weather cast at 10 then started Seinfeld at 10:05.
I don't remember what KTKA (ABC), Topeka, ran back when it didn't have news.
I was a bit confused by other parts of the thread about Detroit. Does the Fox station there have news? It kind of sounded like it had failed and been dissolved but I admit I might have misread it.

Yes -- WJBK always had news, and is always a contender against WDIV and WXYZ. It's CBS O&O WWJ-TV that has no news, and their last attempt not only flopped, but took down WKBD with them.
