Local overnight newscasts

Any stations airing local newscast on the hour overnight?

I can only think of 2 stations, WOR New York and WHAS Louisville
 
WCBS and WINS have them in New York because they're all news stations. KNX in Los Angeles has them in between their old-time radio shows overnight, along with WBBM and WGN in Chicago, KYW in Philadelphia, WSB in Atlanta, WTOP in Washington (all news), and a few others.
 
Denver's KOA still offers local news during the overnight just after the top of the hour ABC newscast and at the bottom of the hour as well. However I am pretty sure the local news is taped though. Traffic and weather most certainly is taped in advance. So many times during my late night travels around Denver I would be stuck in bad traffic but yet I would hear on KOA during those hours "...you are good to go on the freeways. An effortless drive around the Mile High City". Once I even had made an effort to contact KOA to try to let them know about one bad accident that closed I-225 at 2:30am one night. Nobody at KOA even answered the phone !!
