FIRST ON THE BLOG: KJRH was the last station in the Tulsa market to produce a half-hour midday newscast. Starting September 7th, it won’t be anymore.
Starting Monday September 7th, 2015, KJRH 2 will be expanding their midday broadcast to an hour. 2 News Works For You Midday will soon be on-the-air for an hour from 11:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m. The new expanded broadcast will replace Right This Minute (one of my favorite shows) at 11:30 a.m. and as of yet, have not found a new timeslot for the show.
KJRH 2 is the ONLY local station in the Tulsa market that airs midday news at 11:00 a.m., as both KOTV 6 (CBS) and KOKI 23 (FOX) air hour-long midday news at 12:00 Noon (KTUL 8 – ABC doesn’t produce and air a midday newscast at all). The newscast is anchored by Max Resnik and Libby Beaubien.
More midday news on KJRH 2. If you can only watch at 11:00 a.m., then this is very good news for you. Plus, Tulsa will now get a 2-hour midday news block from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m. I think that’s very cool, indeed.

They are already the last station to start at 5:00 a.m. because KOTV 6, KTUL 8 and KOKI 23 already broadcast in the 4:30 a.m. timeslot.

2 hour midday news block. The Washington DC Market has an 8 hour nonstop morning and midday newsblock from 4:30 am to 12:30p

Hagerstown MD where WHAG is at should get its own TV Market. I don’t know why Hagerstown is considered part of the DC Market. The same for Manchester, NH with WMUR-TV 9 it is part of the Boston Market. I think the state of New Hampshire would be large enough to support its own TV Market separate from Boston DMA.

But WHAG 25 does broadcast an hour-long noon newscast. So in reality, DC gets 8 and 1/2 hours from 4:30 am-1:00 pm.
