Sorry to hear this. When I watch local news, I watch FOX25, but a little competition at 10:00 might have been good.
Though doesn’t Ch 7’s sister station Ch 56 run “Ch 7 News at 10” at that hour?
I guess CH 7’s news was getting killed in the ratings at 11 pm and they wanted to try and get some of Ch 25’s viewers at 10...AND it was said they didn’t want Jay Leno leading into their 11 pm news because he’d draw an older audience (but older people buy stuff, too!)
from Ch 56 website:
>>7 News at 10PM on CW56
The proposed Ch 7 10 pm newscast would have also been
carried on Ch 56 (why not put Leno on 56 if that’s
the case?)
