Does anyone have details on the new news broadcast?  Will we lose the 9:00 news?

I won't be watching. Wait - I don't watch the 9:00 news anymore either! The news isn't news anymore. I just come here to yak.

mamba: LOL...good one. If Fox 2 changes to 10pm and removes their 9pm news then I could possibly switch too. You'll find the Channel 4 seems to report breaking news much quicker. Maybe they have more people monitoring their police scanners!

Fox 2 - wake up - DON'T DO IT! Stay at 9!

Yep - the only reason I ever watched Fox was because they had 9 o'clock news, not 10. I get up at 5:30am and want to be asleep by 10pm! My only other option was channel 11. LMAO! Yeah, right! But I can barely watch ANY news anymore. It's all about stupid stuff. But when Fox switches to 10pm, I'll most likely watch 4 or 5 if I have to choose. They report the news faster. Shoot, I'll probably already be in bed asleep. I'll just get my news from the internet from now on. CNN.com is good. I actually get my local NEWS from ksdk.com. They are quick to report and have a much more user friendly set up. Like I said, I just come here to yak. (Cuz I know someone one will say, 'Then what are you doing here?') Because I can. Whatcha gonna do to stop me? Naaaa na na na na naaaaaaa!

mamba: Yeah, news is news and waiting to hear the bad news later won't hurt me.

Fox 2 will lose lots of viewers if they eliminate the 9pm. What they should do is go 9-9:30pm for news...then Seinfeld...then 10-10:30pm news with the late breaking news?

Huh - that works for me.

Yes, that is correct. FOX 2 News at 9 is not being replaced or moved. It will continue to air at 9, followed by FOX 2 News Edge at 10.

I do hope that they keep the 9:00 news. As with the rest, I am usually fast asleep by 10:00. Heck my son and boyfriend accuse me of watching movies with my eyes closed.

We've all known this was coming for a while ... but here's Fox2's GM Spencer Koch's official KTVI Intranet note (abridged version):
"News Edge" at 10 PM, beginning Sunday, September 9th.
Over the years, we recognized that viewers need to be served in many different areas, time being one of them. Our 9 PM News is serving the viewer who wants an earlier newscast. However, we also recognize that St. Louis viewers provide one of the highest viewing levels of prime time in the U.S. between 9 & 10 PM. In addition, a market like St. Louis deserves more than 2 stations providing news at 10 PM.
In fact in the fall, the only station that has provided a 10 PM News on Sunday night is KMOV since KSDK has Sunday Night Football. For these reasons, we will be providing viewers with FOX 2 "News Edge". The "Edge" will be anchored by our current 6 PM Anchor, Sandy Miller.
Sandy has great experience in anchoring Prime newscasts both here and at KPLR. She is well respected and well reflects the strong effort that will be provided to our viewers at 10 PM.
John Brown will be anchoring our Friday Night 10 PM "News Edge". John is a native St. Louisan, most recently working at the Daily Buzz, a syndicated Morning Show since '04, and before that as an anchor at KSPR in Springfield, Missouri. John is an enthusiastic and engaging communicator and we are looking forward to having him join us.
The tone of the newscast will center on hard news, news that viewers should know. Charles Jaco will be delivering strong, topical stor

For some reason, it got cut off!!!

Here's the rest of the story!!!

The tone of the newscast will center on hard news, news that viewers should know. Charles Jaco will be delivering strong, topical stories that will add to the "Edge". Dave and Martin will do weather and sports.
The goal of the "Edge" is to give the viewers what they need and why they need it. It will serve as a strong counter to what is being seen on the competition.
In addition the station will air "TMZ", an entertainment magazine based on the highly popular website. The growth of this site has been phenomenal and given the hunger for entertainment news it could be an interesting half hour.
With FOX 2 "News Edge" at 10 PM and "TMZ" at 10:30 PM, we will be changing our viewers' sitcom habits. It will be challenging and, hopefully, rewarding to again offer first run programming in a highly competitive time period.

Some good information....

Shame on you Mamba and Speedy!! I kind of thought that this Blog site was simply a chat room for some people.

It makes me sick to see how people can turn on you for their own selfish reasons.

Maybe you should IM at AOL, or, find a chat room somewhere if that is all you are looking for!

I am a mother to 1 son, an 8th grader. My longtime boyfriend and I love to take our Tandem out and see the world. I am a news junkie. I wake up, and go to bed every night with Fox 2. I Love Kevin Steincross and the entire morning crew. Mandy Murphy makes the evening edition a true pleasure. When in my car I listen to 102.5 & 106.5. My favorite movie is: Love Actually. The runner ups: 1. Office Space 2. Saw 1, 2, 3 3. Crank 4. Fried Green Tomatoes 5. Alpha Dog Target is the only place to shop!!! **Remember when ever you are on a bike, motorized or not, put on a helmet. Your arm(s) & leg(s) will heal, but what about the most important part of your body...head??? Food for thought.
