When did WRGB do local news at 6:30pm once again? Because I know they did do hour long news at 6pm and they still do, but I didn't know they had a break on not doing that.

I don't know when, but by 2001 they still have 30 minutes of news at 6PM. I agree that stations should have a 6PM hour devoted to local news.
