News for Monday, November 20th, 2017 (corrected)

(correction note: the word "series" in an earlier version of the second paragraph below this sentence was removed)
  • A Facebook page attributed to a promoter for a company specialized in groceries based in the city of Prichard in southwest Alabama (Lucy Greer of Greer's Markets) had some messages attributed to her dated for this Monday concerning a contest involving her and a local TV program dedicated to entertainment and lifestyles that was usually set to appear on the main broadcast channel WALA-TV during the hour of 9:00 a.m. from Monday through Friday in recent times ("Studio 10").*
  • The local news programs that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the first half of the hour of 12:00 p.m. ("WKRG News 5 at Noon"), the first half of the hour of 5:00 p.m. ("WKRG News 5 at 5"), the first and second halves of the hour of 6:00 p.m. ("WKRG News 5 at 6" and "WKRG News 5 at 6:30 p.m."), and the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. ("WKRG News 5 at 10") this Monday each had at least one of their contributors (Devon Walsh and Bill Riales (news presenters/news reporters) for the first one; Peter Albrecht (news presenter/news reporter) and Devon Walsh for the second one; Rose Ann Haven (news presenter) for the third one and and the fourth; Rose Ann Haven and Bryant Clerkley (news reporter) for the fifth one) and a host for certain videos concerning certain businesses in their local broadcast area that were usually were of its programming either between certain segments of such programs or after the last segments of certain installments of them in its regular periods of times for them in recent times (Drexel Gilbert**) appearing to promote the start of a certain effort to collect toys ("The Magical Christmas Toy Drive") for certain residents in the area (the news presenters appeared to had been in a location separate from the one for the aforementioned host).  
  • The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the second half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. on the Sunday of the nineteenth day of this November ("WKRG News 5 at 10")** had its weather reporter (Thomas Geboy) appearing to express personal feelings toward some animated graphics (involving what appeared to had been some turkeys running on a football field, some leaves falling, a goal post, a football moving toward a scoreboard, and a scoreboard with the words "ThanksGiving" and "Cool as a Cranberry" above the words "Low" and "High" above the numbers "63" and "42" in that order) that appeared behind him for one of its weather segments ("Now I love this graphic. You can't beat this; plenty of turkeys just running across the football field. We're rapidly approaching Thanksgiving and it's going to be looking cool as a cranberry. That was quite punny. We'll see high temperatures into the lower sixties after morning temperatures into the lower forties, so it is going to be a cool day, but on Thanksgiving maybe a turkey bowl, maybe a backyard turkey bowl, you can't really beat that weather (the sports reporter for the program (Robby Baker) appeared to respond to what the weather reporter had said before promoting some subjects planned for a part of the program dedicated to sports afterwards (this is what he said while appearing to respond to the weather reporter: "I don't even know what to say, That was--that was like the greatest weather ever with the graphics and the puns")). 
(*the promoter was a regular contributor to the program)
(**at least one of those contributors had said she was a former "news anchor" (a nickname for news presenters) for the news operation in addition to promoting the effort (note: both she and the member named Peter Albrecht were also news presenters for the local news operation at WPMI-TV))
(**the program was usually set to appear on the channel during the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. before then (the channel had programming from the main provider of network programming (the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)) for WKRG-TV during that period of time that day))
