Due to the HQ, potentially losing Internet this weekend (I have to switch boxes and Internet plans), we will post our Newscasts debuting this week, today instead of the usual Sunday.
If you’re unfamiliar with these lists, I do it by day and time order (in EST).
Monday September 7th, 2015
- 6:30-7:00 AM: KNOE 8 News – Good Morning Ark-La-Miss at 6:30 a.m.
KNOE-DT 8.2 in Monroe. While not a new newscast on KNOE 8, a half-hour simulcast is now being added on digital subchannel, “KAQY,” marking a return to a local newscast on that station.
- 12:00-12:30 PM: WLTZ First News at Noon
WLTZ in Columbus, GA. The station is expanding its noon newscast to a full half-hour from previously 15 minutes. The station’s news/talk show, The Dee Armstrong Show, is being moved from 12:15 p.m. to a full hour at 11:00 a.m.
- 4:00-5:00 PM: News 6 at 4:00
WKMG in Orlando. Since the last time we reported on this, the station has changed its branding to News 6 and a new slogan, Getting Results. And this new newscast will show the commitment to the changes that the station has been making for quite some time now.
Tuesday September 8th, 2015
- 4:00-4:30 AM: NewsChannel 8 Today at 4:00 a.m.
WFLA in Tampa. This will become Florida’s first TV news station to start at 4:00 a.m., as all others will continue to start at either 4:30 or 5:00 a.m.

- 4:30-5:00 PM: LEX 18 News at 4:30
