Due the Olympic games opening ceremony pre-empting the NBC6 news at 11pm, they will have a special web-only edition at NBc6.net from the 9th untill February 26th.

who would make a point to watch the “webcast” when there are going to be three other newscasts on actual television at 11pm? that’s just a pain in the ass for the news staff. guess they want to work everyone into the ground.
I think there is a misunderstanding, because I misunderstood at first. NBC6 is still doing a late newscast after the olympics, there just airing this webcast as an alternative to the nbc 6 freaks who cant watch at the later time. At first I thought they abandonded their 11 PM newscast for 2 weeks, during their highest ratings period and during sweeps. But thats not the case, the web cast is only supplementry.

KSDK in St. Louis is doing a web-only 10pm newscast. So, I guess it’s catching on!
what a waste.
Not really. It is only 6 minutes (just saw it now), so it literally costs them nothing.
