And adding more news err Scrippscast and anchorless which I don't like at all, I like the anchor talking about the next story along with the reporter in studio or in the field. News now starts at 4:30AM-10AM, Noon I know they did that when they were Tribune at 11AM called midday was cancelled a few years ago, 3 & half hours 4PM to 7:30PM which a lot will be anchorless.
