News for Friday, April 15th, 2016

 (note: the report titled "News for Monday, April 11th, 2016" was corrected due to a typographical error involving the call letters WXQW)

• WALA-TV had a member of their local news operation who usually only did reports about traffic and road conditions for their local news operation during her tenure with them narrate a report that was not related to either subject in their local news programming this past Wednesday on the thirteenth day of this April (the name of this member was Asha Staples).

• One of the news presenters for the local news operation at WALA-TV (Bob Grip) had compared a news report of theirs to a movie named "Catch Me If You Can" while presenting the report in their local news programming this past Wednesday (he did not specify the movie under that name in spite of there being more than one movie under that name). 

• One of the news presenters for the local news operation at WPMI-TV (Darwin Singleton) had used some of their local news programming for this calendar week to promote a special syndicated TV program set to be part of their programming plans for this April (specifically their programming plans for this Sunday on the seventeenth day of this month) and the programming plans of other TV stations within their holding (or "parent") company (the Sinclair Broadcast Group) for the same month (the news presenter promoted it as if it were their own program; as for its name, it was "The Rise of Terror: What You Need to Know").
