Breaking: WPIX to Air 5 p.m. Newscast Starting in September
WPIX/Channel 11 is expanding its weekday news coverage. Beginning in early September, FishbowlNY has learned, the station is adding a 5 p.m. newscast each afternoon.
A WPIX spokeswoman says an anchor for the newscast hasn’t been chosen. But a likely candidate is Jodi Applegate, the face of Channel 11. She joined WPIX last October to solo anchor the reconstituted 10 p.m. news.
A source close to the situation tells FishbowlNY the new, one-hour broadcast will target women.
WPIX joins a crowded, competitive field in the 5 o’clock hour.
