program News at But WWBT can call it Channel 12 news at 5 pm 5:30 6 11 and now at 10 pm too BY DOUGLAS DUHDOI Tbies-Dispatch staff writer If WWBT-Channcl 12' plan ia to add yet another newacaat to ita six a day then consider News at a success But if WRLH-Channel goal is to give Richmond viewers a distinctively different newscast with its 10 pm news TELEVISION nel 12 it might DEIflCUf want to rethink KCVILlI ita mission Last night marked Richmond's first locally produced 10 pm newscast on a channel that has never had a local newscast before But many of its on-air faces can also be found on Channel 12 as can between 10 pm and the newscasts before it was a matter of equipment When Channel Charles Mur-iy became Channel 35's Charles urphy reputing from the Greensville Correctional Center he changed microphones At least that was the story for the first half of last premiere By 10:20 News at had become the Mr Hyde of TV newscasts with names like Sting Heidi Flciss and Tori Spelling suddenly dominating the The final segment at the half-hour was a clip from last Aero-smith concert at the Classic lively report not available for any of Channel 12's previous newscasts but which did make WWBTs 11 pm news Sandwiched between the end of many of its news reports Like two out of the three previous Channel 12 newscasts of the night at opened with a report mi the uprising at the Greensville Correctional Center Channel half-hour broadcast then proceeded to go through the same four stories that dominated Channel 12's earlier shows: Gov George Allen and his plans to abolish parole the American presence in Haiti the OJ Simpson case and a murder charge in Richmond that had been dropped WWBT meteorologist Jim Duncan in his fourth appearance since 5 pm once again told viewers what a delightful day it had been Other than an interview with a prison inmate complaining about parole plans the only difference Fax programming at 10 and the syndicated Current Affair" at 10:30 News at Ten" is in answer to Fox's mandate for its affiliates to establish a news presence Fox supplies some of the footage Last night's premiere included a segment on magazines made by and for Gen readers from Fox News But in this market Channel 12 news and reporters dominate Co-anchor Diane Walker and sports anchor George Evanko were imported from Channel 12 weekends Sturdy weatherman Jim Duncan adds yet another newscast to his rCflumC Channel 12 reporters change microphones to Channel 35 microphones and even not much at a switch The identifying colors of the two news logos are the Details at 10 on Channel 35 at from other local newscasts Moffatt said a fine line drawing here" she explained think going to have a lot of young viewers who want a faster pace and more graphics and music We'll have more entertainment and style pieces and some MTV News kinds of things but to counter that I want to run more business Fox has wonderful business reporting" Moffatt who at 27 has already spent two years producing the 11 pm news at WWBT and done stints in Charlotte NC and at WTVR here hardly fits the stereotypical media image of frantic hard-bitten news producer got a long way to go All the elements are in place we just have to get them she said after Thursday's rehearsal be lying if I said I wasn't nervous excited but also anxious to get on air and begin the evolution that always happens Heck it might take a couple of months But a 10 pm newscast is something always wanted to do I just always felt it would be NEWS FROM PAGE D1 involved in creating studio space hiring a news staff and buying equipment with five- and six-figure pice tags WWBT can spread out the cost at its extensive news operation which already includes six newscasts each weekday Viewers get another 30 minutes of news per day with a slightly different perspective than that offered by WWBT or competitors WTVR-Channel 6 and WRIC-Channel 8 Yes the faces are familiar because with the exception of Autry who moved here from WRAL-TV in Raleigh NC to work the new newscast all are WWBT veterans And some of the stories reported by WWBTs regular reporting staff will have familiar themes But national news from Fox National News Service a generally faster pare and a slightly different mix of news and feature material should differentiate News SOUTHGATE CINEMAS BBSS MDtOTHMM 7NPK UMS71 HACK KAUIY
