News for Saturday, November 8th, 2014

• WMXC-FM (99.9) had a ceremony for their switch from having contemporary music broadcast on a regular basis to having Christmastime music broadcast on a regular basis between now and the Thursday of December 25th (Christmas Day) this past Friday, November 7th (it took place in their radio studio between 12:00 p.m. and 12:10 p.m.). 

• WKRG-TV had WMXC-FM's ceremony broadcast live as part of their local midday news program ("WKRG News 5 at Noon") since it involved their morning news presenter and news reporter named Bill Riales (the studios for WKRG-TV's midday news program and the ceremony were located in the same building). 

• William (Bill) Finch of WAVH-FM's (106.5) weekly radio program about gardening titled "Plain Gardening for the Gulf Coast" and the Mobile Botanical Gardens did not appear in the "Plain Gardening" segment for this past Friday's edition of WKRG-TV's midday news program like their previous "Plain Gardening" segments (another member of the staff for the gardens took his place for the segment: William (Bill) Barrick).
