Nexstar Media Group said today that it will increase local news at its recently acquired CW affiliate KRCW Portland, Ore. (DMA 22).
It’s bumping up the station’s 10 p.m. weekday newscast to a full hour beginning tonight, and will also add Game On!, a 30-minute sports highlights show on Sunday nights, beginning Oct. 27. Both broadcasts will continue to be independently produced for KRCW by its sister station there, CBS affiliate KOIN.
“Nexstar is committed to serving its local communities with informative, engaging and exclusive local content,” said Tim Busch, president of Nexstar Broadcasting. “This additional programming is just the beginning of Nexstar’s ambitious plans to add more local content to KRCW-TV now and again in 2020. Expanding the 10 p.m. news broadcast and adding Game On! provides new locally produced programming for our viewers and delivers additional opportunities for our marketing partners to reach consumers.”
