They make a lot of money from their local news. <br /><br />By putting the ND game right up against NASCAR, the Saturday local news is cancelled. <br /><br />That is a big revenue hit in many markets. We went through this last season.<br /><br />Wait until the end of the race, stations have left at 10PM for local news and never even referenced that the live race had only laps to go.<br /><br />Broadcast TV is a very different animal from the control of cable.<br /><br />JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-63025633291315151762009-09-12T17:07:45.443-04:002009-09-12T17:07:45.443-04:00@ JD

When did you first hear that they were changing their minds about the local newscast?

I didn't mention the call letters for the station in my tweet. It is WDAY. I did send them an email (and I was civil) expressing my disappointment. Hopefully they make a different decision for the Charlotte race in Oct (which starts at 6pm central, if I read the schedule right).Beckyhttp://www.hightechredneckwoman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-81139590087661806192009-09-12T14:35:21.469-04:002009-09-12T14:35:21.469-04:00More markets that will be airing Countdown...
