That’s it. I am done with WDIV news.

So where will you tune in now for news?

Where reputable news sources and unbiased coverage of world news is covered by honest, truthful, no political agenda personalities....

Tik Tok.....

If memory serves me correctly, I think they had live look-ins on Detroit and New York. Rounded out with pre-recorded portions from Toronto and Honolulu. Maybe another city as well.

Yeah, I know CBS used to use Detroit as one of the multiple cities they would go to when they used to do that. Now they just do the B-broadcast of NYC (Macy's without any of the performances.)

I've always wondered exactly which affiliates are broadcasting WDIV's coverage. WDIV claims 100+ affiliates. Well, they nationally broadcast the first hour, nothing after that, which means they miss out on the best parts IMO.

WNEM aired WDIV's coverage of "America's" parade from 9:00am-12:00pm, complete with an awkwardly placed 5 chyron partially over WDIV's.

WOOD Grand Rapids, WJXT Jacksonville FL, WGTQ Traverse City, WNLS Lansing, and WBKB Alpena also aired the 3-hour broadcast live.

My only complaint is how the station tersely segued to commercials immediately once Devin finished saying, "It's my last time saying this - Lester Holt and NBC Nightly News is next."

I was expecting a montage of some kind set to music at that point, but nope, Loco 4 did a hard cutaway to commercials. Lame. That occurred at 6:26 PM.
