New Morning Host at KTVT

Besides what the hell is going on at 10am that you would need a newscast at that time?! ???

Not everybody works a 8 to 5 day. A 10AM, 11AM, or Noonday Newscast may be the only Newscast an evening worker is able to watch.

Sorry, it was a bit of a rhetorical question (those don't work too well on here). What are the numbers like for a 10am show? I can understand the noon. I would think a 1pm show would actually be better. You'd have more of 'lunch time' audience.
 
Let's keep it real, Sno... 1 p.m. ain't gonna happen.

The SPACE SHUTTLE BLOWS UP and those frows call their station of choice to provide an onslaught at the front desk for taking off their stpuid soaps off air to air, you know... death and a shuttle explosion... in you know... TEXAS?

People are weird, but programming is slotted for a reason.
 
The reason I said 1pm was for KXAS's benefit. PASSIONS is about to go away, and THE TODAY SHOW will be four hours. You could slide DAYS OF OUR LIVES down to 2pm and air the newscast at 1pm. No one else is doing it at that time. And, Soap ratings are extremely low these days. I think they'd do better with it there, than at 10 or 11 am.

But, no I was not talking about disrupting the soaps on KTVT or WFAA. And, unfortunately I've been hooked on GENERAL HOSPITAL for ten years now, from when I worked for an ABC station. The only difference is I get it off the Soap channel on DIRECTV, that way there will be none of those pesky breaking news cut-ins.
 
Before the advent of early morning newscasts (5am), the noon newscast was often the first full local newscast of the day. Back in those days, many more women were stay-at-home moms and would watch the noon news. As a teenager, I watched the noon news during vacations.
 
Longtime TV critic Ed Bark has an interesting article that not only talks about Scott Sams returning to D/FW TV but also chronicles the long list of newspeople at Channel 11 who did their time at other stations around here. A really impressive lineup.
