News for Tuesday, April 11th, 2017

• The local news program usually set to appear on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV over a period of two hours on Saturday and Sunday mornings in recent times was set to be part of its programming for only one of those hours (the hour of 6:00 a.m.) last Sunday on the ninth day of this April (the guide to the programming of the main broadcast channel provided by Zap2it had the names of two syndicated information programs listed for the other hour (the hour of 7:00 a.m.) for that day ("Missing" and "Jack Hanna's Animal Adventures").*

• The main broadcast channel for WALA-TV had an advertisement for a local news program in which only about 43 percent of its regular time period for appearing on the channel from Monday through Friday was promoted (the entire time period included the second half of the hour of 4:00 a.m. and the hours of 5:00 a.m., 6:00 a.m., 7:00 a.m., and 8:00 a.m.; the part of that time promoted in the advertisement included the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m.; as for how part of that was promoted in the advertisement, it included announcements (delivered by a professional announcer named Greg O'Neill) such as, "Only FOX 10 News keeps it local from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m" and, "The only local news from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m").*  

(*the advertisements for both of those news programs in recent times usually did not proper names for them, even though the official World Wide Web site for WALA-TV usually did until sometime between this past February and this April  ("FOX 10 News in the Morning"))
