There have been plenty of newscasts canceled over the past few years; in fact, a number of stations have dropped all newscasts outright. And not just tiny-market indie stations, either -- one was the ABC affiliate in St. Louis.
Of course, there are also the Sinclair stations that dropped local news while pretending to keep it... oops, there I go editorializing again.[/quote]
And guess who owns KDNL, the ABC station in St. Louis that got out of local news? That's right--Sinclair.
And on the last night at the end of the last newscast, you could see at the edge of the screen the uniformed security guards ready to escort the talent out of the station as soon as they went off the air.
What's the Point of that, Mark Hayman?
ObGameShow: The newscast was replaced by "TWL."
