• Some of the news presenters for the local news operation at WPMI-TV were using some of their local news programming for this past Wednesday on the twentieth day of this April to promote a plan by a TV station with the same owners as theirs (WJLA-TV in the District of Columbia) to have a special program named "Your Voice, Your Future: Freedom of Speech" that Wednesday (between 6:00 p.m. and 7:00 p.m.) and a plan for the program to be streamed through their own station's official World Wide Web site.*

• One of the news presenters for the local news operation for WKRG-TV (Devon Walsh) used the last few segments of their local midday news program ("WKRG News 5 at Noon") to tell its audience (between 12:20 p.m. and 12:24 p.m.) that their main provider of network programming (the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS)) would have more information regarding reports of a famous musician named Prince Rogers Nelson being found dead earlier this Thursday in a few minutes (the provider had special programming about this discovery between 12:56 p.m. and 1:00 p.m.).
