So I’ve decided to make this next post all about D.C. and Philadelphia. Yes, Atlanta is a smaller market than Philly but I’m skipping them because of the number of stations I have to cover there without overfilling images on Twitter posts (since Twitter only lets you do four at a time).
But don’t you worry, Atlanta WILL be the next post.
Well, you’ve probably read them on some of the media observer sites by now and yep, its happening. Tribune is canceling several local newscasts at KDAF Dallas, KIAH Houston and WDCW D.C. However, its not all bad news as there will be new local morning news at KIAH Houston and expanding at WPHL Philadelphia. Here’s what you need to know.
FIRST ON THE BLOG: Another two small changes in two different markets.
More newscasts are debuting this week and there’ll be even more debuting next week as well. For updates, stay tuned to this blog and my social media channels. Here is this week’s list and for one, it will not debut on Monday as you may have possibly think.
Unless if you have cable in the D.C. area in which you can get an alternative 10:00pm newscast in the market (NewsChannel 8), there was no alternative as many people watch WTTG for their local news at 10:00pm. However, starting next month, all of that will change.
But there’s a twist to this… the newscast will be based out of Central Virginia.
