Morning Papers may not be salvageable if the problem is that the
segment would have to materialize too early. There are no such
excuses with the polka.
Incidentally, timely as though torn from today's headlines:
WJLA moves up morning newscast
Months after three local Washington stations debuted 4:30 a.m.
newscasts, WJLA is joining the super-early news party, the ABC
affiliate announced Thursday.
"Good Morning Washington" will start at 4:30 a.m. beginning Monday,
with "GMW" newscaster Alison Starling in the anchor seat.
"Basically, we want to serve the early risers," station manager Bill
Lord said. "When you look at how many people are awake and watching
television that time of day, it is shocking."
[snip]
All three stations saw time-slot increases in the May "sweeps" ratings
among predawn viewers, and the numbers have remained higher: Last
week, WRC averaged 35,300 viewers for "News4 Today," compared with the
18,400 watching at the same time last year.
[Really? It's worth it for 35,000 people? snip]
WJLA now airs "America This Morning" at that hour -- an ABC network
news program that offers a mix of business, weather and sports
programming and averages about 16,700 viewers. Lord said the half-hour
show, anchored by Vinita Nair and Rob Nelson, will move to 4 a.m.
