About Us

This blog is about news on adding, expanding, or dropping newscasts from across the country. Plus, we may report on any affiliation changes that could be happening. Because those affiliation changes could affect a station’s news department and its newscast schedules. This blog was founded and created on Monday, August 11th, 2014.

When you read FIRST ON THE BLOG, it means it has not been reported yet by either TVSpy, TVNewsCheck, or FTVLive, the 3 big websites where you usually read news about stations adding or expanding newscasts. We’re glad to sometimes deliver stories that were reported FIRST by us and not by any other website. If you’re a television news junkie (like myself) or love the television news industry, then this website is for you. Please check back daily as you may never know when another station will either add, expand, or drop a newscast. When we hear something new about it, you’ll hear it here on this blog.

Please follow this blog! It will give you email updates for whenever I make a new post on the blog and so that way, you’ll stay informed into what’s new and what’s happening. Please and thank you.

Thanks to the amount of success the blog has generated, a Twitter account for the blog was started on Monday, June 1st, 2015, and can be followed at @ChangeNewsBlog. A Facebook page was created (“Changing Newscasts”) on Monday, September 21st, 2015 to expand the blog’s social media reach.
