A reader alerted me to this a while ago.
WPBF will launch a three-hour local news schedule on Saturdays and Sundays starting March 8th. From 5 to 7am and from 8 to 9am with Saturday edition of Good Morning America from 7 to 8am.
Bob Kaple, reporter since 2005 at KCCI (also Hearts-Argyle station) in Des Moines, Iowa will partnered with a soon to be named co-anchor and Meteorologist Eric Burris.
“People depend on television news earlier and earlier and that includes weekend mornings,†said Victoria Regan, WPBF-TV vice president and general manager. “WPBF’s expansion addresses the audience growth and demand for more news, weather and traffic in the time period. WPBF News 25 has taken a leadership role in providing expanded coverage on weekends. Now, only WPBF will deliver morning news seven days a week beginning at 5 a.m.â€Â
