I stayed up for Monday Night Football and continued to watch the local news on WLNE-6. I was shocked to see a "ABC6 Prerecorded" bug in the lower right corner. Is this normal? I dont recall any other station doing this before following late running sports events. Did Fox 64 do this following World Series games? Seems to me I remember hearing sportscasters talking about how late they stayed up. Does this show how not dedicated WLNE is to their news?

WLNE prerecords lots of times especially when Monday Night Football is on.
I don't know about Fox-64 WNAC. But I do recall a few nights ago. Both WPRI/WNAC were running newscasts at 11pm together. When news comes on late on WPRI, Karen Adams usually cracks a joke or two about it. And often busts Tony telling him to start her car up. Or clean off the snow... Too funny. But the bottom line at WLNE is $$$$$$$

Yes, Fox 64 has "taped" their 10:00 newscasts during the baseball playoffs...but the show would only be 30 minutes long. Reason being is if the baseball coverage ended between 11:00 and 11:30, WPRI's newscast would be on the air at that time. The WPRI and Fox newscasts are done in the same studio. So, instead of not doing a newscast at all, they just tape the 10:00 Fox show...and continue with the regular 11:00 newscast on WPRI. I don't know how other Fox affiliates handle that situation...except for WFXT. I do know that WFXT's newscastst were live after the baseball coverage. But I don't know how other markets (like Hartford) handled this.

Simple: during Game 3 of the World Series, which went to 2:20 AM, there was definitely no newscast, live or tape. Most of the time, WTIC-TV (FOX) channel 61 of Hartford did their newscast live for sister station WTXX-TV (WB) channel 20 of Waterbury/Hartford. I think it was on tape at least twice during the LCS games (either league).

NECN Does It All The
New England Cable News, NECN, run pre-recorded news all the time on a loop. Sometimes they get caught when a story breaks and they are no where to be found on breaking news.

We're not talking about a cable "news channel"
Hey Schlocko, we're talking about a broadcast network affiliate of one of the big 3 networks, not a lame-ass cable "news channel".

How can anyone be surprised by this? In this day and age of "let's make up fake news" such as "cyber monday" a term that did not exist two weeks ago, or in a day and age where NBC runs prerecorded footage of the M&M's balloon when in reality, it crashed. The old saying still holds true, you can't believe what you see on TV.
