WPLG - News Operation

News Operation

Unlike most ABC stations in the Eastern Time Zone, WPLG did not carry a newscast in the 5 p.m. timeslot opting to air Dr. Phil instead. However, as of August 22, 2011 WPLG once again began airing a 5 p.m. - 6 p.m. newscast in place of the Dr. Phil Show which moved to WFOR CBS4 in the Fall 2011. WPLG deployed "Sky 10", Miami's first news helicopter in 1979. After with the move to its Pembroke Park studios, WPLG became the third Miami station to broadcast its local newscasts in high definition on March 28, 2009, during its 6:30 p.m. newscast.

Since 1993, WPLG has used several versions of Gari Media Group's "The One and Only" music package, which was named after one of its long-time slogans.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:

    There is no news in fear
    but in the end it’s fear
    that drowns you.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    Waiting for the race to become official, he began to feel as if he had as much effect on the final outcome of the operation as a single piece of a jumbo jigsaw puzzle has to its predetermined final design. Only the addition of the missing fragments of the puzzle would reveal if the picture was as he guessed it would be.
    Stanley Kubrick (b. 1928)
