KCOP News

Maybe they should experiment with putting Good Day LA on weekends on KCOP at 7am. The station airs infomercials mainly or religious programming. Maybe the news could get better ratings than those other programs.

For Goid Day LA +, it's simulcast on both kttv and kcop weekdays.

If they're airing infomercials or religious programming, they're being paid for the airtime. They've likely done the math and found it's more money than they would make with the best ratings you're likely to get at 7:00 a.m. on a weekend morning.

Beyond that, unless you're talking about a re-run of segments from earlier in the week, there's the cost of producing an hour (or more) of a live newscast. There are near-zero costs in running paid religious programming or infomercials.

KTVU, KCPQ, KUTP and KPTV did use their duopolies as backups for their weekend morning news just to clear FOX News Sunday and certain FOX Sports programs like FOX NFL Kickoff and Big Noon Kickoff depending on the schedule.

So it's more like another KTLA.
 
KCOP now airs weekday news from KTTV in the form of simulcasts of GDLA+ at 11:00am and Good Nite L.A. at 11:00pm (which both originated for KCOP before expanding it as a simulcast to KTTV as well), and also KTTV's 5:00pm news.

That now leaves WNYW and WFLD not having a late news.since many Fox stations in mid-large markets are now going beyond the primetime news slot.
