CW's KPLR-TV Changes Times, Expands News


August 25, 2008 Bucking the time zone, KPLR-TV, Tribune's CW affiliate, is moving its 9 p.m. half-hour news to 7 p.m. and expanding the newscast to an hour. While station execs say the move will benefit consumers who can't get home so soon, there's a side benefit to KPLR's virtual duopoly partner, KTVI, the Fox affiliate owned by Local TV LLC, which had only one competitor for its 9 p.m. news, KPLR.
