• WALA-TV and WPMI-TV each had a local news program without an opening sequence (or title sequence) in their broadcasts this Saturday (the one for WPMI-TV during the the first half of the hour of 5:00 p.m. ("Local 15 News at 5:00 p.m.") began with videos of two persons commenting about news of a former president for the nation of Cuba (Fidel Castro Ruz) dying this past Friday whereas the one for WALA-TV during the hour of 10:00 p.m. (it was simply titled "FOX 10 News" due to its time period not being one of their regular time periods for local news programming (10:20 p.m. to 10:49 p.m.) in recent times) began with an animated sequence normally used for "breaking news" on their local news programs in recent times (in the case of the program for this Saturday, the news was about a "possible shooting" in the city of Mobile in southwest Alabama this Saturday).
