Fox 44 & ABC 22 continue local news expansion
Will produce 6 hours of local news daily
Beginning Monday, March 28, ABC 22 will add 90-minutes of local news to its programming line-up.
Viewers in the Burlington/Plattsburgh market will then be able to get local news starting an hour earlier at 5 am on ABC 22. The newscast will be anchored by Jackie Morlock, who recently joined the news team, and meteorologist Kerrin Jeromin.
In addition, ABC 22 will program an 11 pm news Monday through Sunday. The newscast will be anchored weeknights by Greg Navarro, meteorologist Nick Johnston and sportscaster Kristian Read. Lauren Maloney will continue anchoring ABC 22 News at 7 pm.
In December 2007, Fox 44 launched a 10 pm newscast to become the third local television outlet providing coverage to viewers in the market. In March 2008, a 7 pm newscast debuted on ABC 22. Since then, the 10 pm news has been expanded to one-hour. In the summer of 2008, morning news was added to both channels.
Once the change takes place Fox 44 & ABC 22 will have expanded to six hours of local news daily in just 3 ½ years.
Fox 44 is owned by Smith Media, LLC and manages ABC 22.
