WPBF to Drop 4pm Newscast for Talker Show

9

WPBF launched the first 4pm newscast in Palm Beach County on July 12, 2006 but it seems they have decided they’ll be better off airing a talk show instead. The Dr Oz Show will be moving to WPBF at 4pm, followed by Dr Phil at 5pm. Right now WPTV airs Dr. Oz at 3pm which started in September 2009.

One of our tipsters says the promos airing on WPBF have September 12, 2011 as the day when Dr Oz officially debuts at 4pm.

  1. So in other words PBF will be doing what PLG has been doing for a while. Only have two half hour newscasts at 6 and 11p?

  2. wpbf will have news at 5:00pm they said it on newscast. the dr phil show at 5:00pm is incorrect i don’t know what will happen to his show, it airs now at 9:00am

  3. I wouldn’t be too surprised to see the News at 4pm return to WPBF soon. BTW, at 9am on WPLG is News. BTW, I also wouldn’t be too surprised to see PLG bring the 5pm news back.

  4. Eventually the return of news at 4pm will return to West Palm, and if it does, I’ll just bet that WPTV will be the ones to air it.

  5. WPEC picks up Dr. Phil starting September 12th at 4PM. Not sure what Happens with The Doctors, that aired in that time slot and not sure what WPTV is replacing their 4PM hour with, yet!
