The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV during the hour of 9:00 p.m. on the Thursday of the ninth day of the month of August for the calendar year 2018 ("FOX 10 News at 9:00 p.m.") appeared to have had this conversation between one of its reporters (a weather reporter named Jason Smith) and its news presenters (Bob Grip and Lenise Ligon) for a part of it related to weather:

Jason Smith: And I want to talk about this: you know last night we had so much breaking news, we were not able to work in our...umbrella giveaway, so Teresa Miller from Chunchula, you won the umbrella--

Lenise Ligon: Eh heh.

Jason Smith: --and you can register on our Web site, FOX10TV dot com, if you want to win one of these things. We've been needing it lately.

Bob Grip: Right. It's a nice umbrella.

Lenise Ligon: She'll still need to use it, too, with the forecast we've got.

Bob Grip: That's right.

The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV during the hour of 5:00 p.m. on the Friday of the seventeenth day of the month of August for the calendar year 2018 ("FOX 10 News at 5:00 p.m.") appeared to have had this conversation between its news presenters (Lenise Ligon and Byron Day): 

Lenise Ligon: Well the second and final weekend of the alligator hunting season is underway. It kicked off last night. About a hundred and fifty tags handed out to fish for gators in the southwest zone.  Several alligators caught last weekend, but for those who didn't get one this go round, it's your last chance  -- you got to Sunday night. To learn more about registering for, uh, next year's hunt, head on over to our Web site -- that is FOX10TV dot com. [note: the program appeared to have had some digital graphics involving texts of "SPANISH FORT", "COMMITTED TO YOU", "BALDWIN COUNTY" "ALLIGATOR SEASON UNDERWAY" and "150 TAGS IN OUR AREA" by this point]. Would you do it?

Byron Day: I can.

Lenise Ligon: You would do it, Byron.

Byron Day: Absolutely.

Lenise Ligon: There you go.

Byron Day: Just give me my tag.
