Starting May 26th, (my birthday by the way.....) wabc is adding a new newscast at a new time: 4pm. Starring Liz, David and Lee.........so that makes 4 hours of news in the same night, including world news. These are just the beginning of changes that we'll be seeing with wabc, as they'll also be getting new graphics and then sometime in the future of this year they'll be getting a new studio, as anchor David told me, that the studio will not be ready in time for the debut of the new newscast, but a few months later.

@Pookatube Either that or WNBC may revive the NBC 4 brand and rename its newscast as 'NBC 4 Metro News'. Otherwise, I have no problem with WNBC's current general brand and news brand ('News 4 New York').

Also in San Francisco KGO-TV has a 9pm newscast on KOFY-TV 20. How can both WABC and KGO succeed most SF and NY residents use Bart, MTA and Ferries to get to work and home.

Look at KGO and WABC they just jumped the 4pm Newscast there just because Oprah has left. The question here is how can WABC and KGO adapt to a 4pm newscast when KABC has had a 4pm newscast for 30 years WABC and KGO weill never be like KABC.

Happy B-day! The LAST time there was a lengthy evening newscast, CBS 2 had it. Unfortunately, that one was short - lived.

@deandagati It was worked out pretty well. WSVN has 3 hours of news in the afternoon from 4:00-7:00 PM & it's ratings are usually high. And to @applesauce2100 happy birthday! not only WABC is doing this: WSB-TV Atlanta, WPVI Philadelphia & other stations that are replacing Oprah at 4:00 with local news. the 4:00 news time on weekdays is actually getting really popular now across the country

WNBC should dump LXTV at 5 and rebrand their news as Channel 4 Metro News with the tag line "If it matters to you, it matters to us!"
