Whatever sells the most ads.

Sometimes, you can put together a 5 PM newscast more cheaply than you can purchase a syndie.

Real cheap, a talent, a producer, repurpose everything you can, then make your existing staff take up any slack for the have to shoot/cover. Use the same music, graphics package and of course weather and sports just get to work harder. Brilliant and nothing says local like news and it may make the stave the bean counters off for a bit!

Lots of new people and a better look.
Amanda McCall looks promising.
Dana Arquilla was anchor in Clarksburg.
Clarksburg cameras looked better than Huntington.
Poor video level control tho.
