• The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. on the Sunday of the eighth day of this October ("WKRG News 5 at 10") had one of its news presenters (Mel Showers) referring to a local TV station in the city of Biloxi in the state of Mississippi unrelated to them by ownership (WLOX-TV) as a "sister station" while attributing some video of a news report attributed to them before having the video itself, even though some of the local news programming they had before then usually had other news presenters for their news operation using that phrase in reference to TV stations that were actually related to them by ownership (note: WLOX-TV was part of a holding company named Raycom Media whereas WKRG-TV was part of a holding company named the Nexstar Media Group).
