(note: the second paragraph from the top of the previous report for this weblog ("News for Friday, January 19th, 2018") was amended)
  • Some of the local news programs on the broadcast channels for WALA-TV and WKRG-TV between the Wednesday of the seventeenth day of this January and the Thursday of the eighteenth day of this January appeared to have had videos involving the exterior of a former facility for the news operation at WALA-TV without any references to it.  
  • The wall of a Facebook page attributed to WKRG-TV appeared to have had a recording of the first part of the local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the first half of the hour of 12:00 p.m. on the Wednesday of the seventeenth day of this January ("WKRG News 5 at Noon") before one of its breaks from appearing on it during that period of time that day.
  • The local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WKRG-TV during the second half of the hour of 6:00 p.m. on the Thursday of the eighteenth day of this January ("WKRG News 5 at 6:30") appeared to have had one of its reporters (Cameron Edgeworth) referring to a certain room by a name not often used in some of the local news programming it had before then in recent times ("digital news room").
  • 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 Wednesday of the seventeenth day of this January ("WKRG News 5 at 10") had its news presenters (Mel Showers and Rose Ann Haven) saying either "worry" or "scary" in their presentations for it (such as, "And there is also a wind chill advisory, but as chief meteorologist Alan Sealls will tell you, there is also a much bigger threat to worry about" and, "In Baldwin County, there is one road closure to worry about" by the one named Mel Showers and, "If you do find yourself caught on black ice, it is a scary thing, but follow these helpful tips from WikiHow.com" by the one named Rose Ann Haven).
  • 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 Thursday of the eighteenth day of this January ("WKRG News 5 at 10") appeared to have had a certain video involving a certain song immediately between having one of its news presenters (Rose Ann Haven) saying, "Mobile and Baldwin County students return to class tomorrow after being out two days due to icy road conditions and it appears the principal of one local elementary school shared her rapping skills during this winter break. Check out her remix of Vanilla Ice's 'Ice Ice Baby' "* and, "Randy Patrick's** dancing in here; he is getting it. That video posted by Mary B. Austin Elementary has gotten more than forty-one thousand views on the school's Facebook page. If you'd like to see it again, you'll find the link on our Web site. Just go to WKRG.com"* respectively (the weather reporter for the program (Alan Sealls) appeared to have had said, "Well I've been doing a little [rapping/wrapping] lately; no, I'm not going to do it now, I did some [wrapping/rapping] around Christmas and then with this cold air I've been wrapping some pipes" afterwards.
(*the local news program that appeared on the main broadcast channel for WALA-TV during the first half of the hour of 10:00 p.m. that Thursday ("FOX 10 News at 10") had similar reports of such a video)
