Update WEAR-TV has mentioned that WPMI-TV will take over their news operations until April 9th.

Our primary concern during this crisis remains the health and safety of our employees. Out of an abundance of caution, we have decided to relocate the production of WEAR-TV newscasts to its sister station, WPMI, in Mobile, Alabama through at least April 9. During this time we will produce newscasts that will bring audiences Pensacola, Mobile and national news. We also have begun a deep-clean and sanitization of the WEAR-TV newsroom to further protect the health of our employees. Further, we will continue to use social distancing and other safety precautions that have been in place since a few weeks ago.
