Nothing suprising here, I still think its b/s that they get away with calling themselves a news station. They are a talk station with sprinkles of news throughout the day. To me, news stations are ones like WBZ Boston, WINS WCBS New York, KYW, Philadelphia, KDKA, Pittsburgh, WBAL Baltimore, WTOP, Washington, WBBM Chicago, KNX, Los Angeles, KXNT Las Vegas. These are stations that actually cover stories all day long, constant weather and traffic updates. Not just plug in the satellite for 1/3 of the day. Do they cost more to operate? Yes, but in most of those cases they are reaping some of the best profits in the industry (Just look at the billing of WINS AND WCBS in 2009) There is that old saying "It takes money to make money." As cliche as it is, there is a reason that saying has been around for so long. Houston is a major city, just like the ones I listed above (in some of those cases even more so). There is NO reason it shouldn't have a news station to match!
