WTEV/WAWS start earlier…
Viewers on the First Coast now have one more source for early local news. WTEV/WAWS have started broadcasting their newscasts at the ridiculous time of 4:30am. The Jacksonville duopoly is following in the foot steps of rival WJXT, who started broadcasting a 4:30am newscast back in April this year.
The new time slot also brings other changes. The morning newscasts have a more fresh and more brightly colored graphics package. Reporter Kristen Cosby will get a little desk time. She is anchoring the new 4:30am show, followed by Mike Barz and Dawn Lopez, who take over from 5-7+.
