News for Monday, February 23rd, 2015
- One of the news presenters on this past Sunday's (February 22nd) edition
of WALA-TV's local 9:00 p.m. news program ("FOX 10 News
at 9:00 p.m.") referred to the bridge over the Mobile-Tensaw River Delta
by a nickname commonly used in reference to it by broadcasters such as
he while enticing his audience about a report about the bridge he would
present after a commercial break for the program in which the bridge was
referenced by both its formal name (the "General W. K. Wilson Jr.
Bridge") and the nickname (the "Dolly Parton Bridge").
- WFNA-TV's main broadcast channel (radio frequency channel 25-1/virtual channel 55-1) recently had advertisements that were
usually part of WKRG-TV's programming and not any other TV
station's programming in southwest Alabama back when they were not affiliated with WKRG-TV. For example, it had promotional
advertisements for "The CBS Evening News" and "CBS This
Morning", two network TV programs that were usually part of WKRG-TV's programming and not any other TV station's programming in southwest Alabama (WFNA-TV became affiliated with WKRG-TV as a result of the former
parent company for WFNA-TV and their former companion station WALA-TV
(LIN Media) merging with the parent company of WKRG-TV (Media General)
and WALA-TV becoming part of a separate company (the Meredith Corporation) in order for that merger to be completed last December).
