WFOR CBS4 are launching a weekend morning newscast this July. Two two-hour one hour newscasts are being added on Saturday and Sunday beginning at 6am and 8am respectively.
Both newscasts will be anchored by Marybel Rodriguez with CBS4 Meteorologist Craig Setzer reporting the weather. The newscasts launch on July 7, 2012
Didn’t FOR do this before?! If memory serves me correctly, the outcome wasn’t spectacular.
They did. Seems they suspended the weekend morning newscasts around the time that WTVJ did. And of course, WTVJ brought back their weekend morning newscasts recently.
I forget who the anchor was before (Marybel?), but Christina Loren did the weather on the weekend AMs (after Erin Coakely (sp?) left), so they had to have stopped before late 2010, when Christina left for the SF Bay Area.
You’d think the market’s only English duopoly would put more money into their product. Instead, they cut back on 4’s weekend mornings, & 33’s morning & 10pm. So much for public service!
