WQED gets more newsy

By Eric O Brien

Pittsburgh:

Starting tomorrow, WQED-TV (13) will have one more news program in its early evening lineup. "BBC World News" will precede The Newshour with Jim Lehrer at 5:30. Being bounced out of place is Children's program "Wishbone". But Wishbone may return come January when the 6:00 am - 5:00 pm lineup becomes dedicated to children's programming. That's when another news program will start at 5:00 pm. It's also likely that the station will have added another subchannel which will be a "lifelong learning channel" according to Program Director Chris Fennimore. It will feature "how-to" programs as well as carry two 3-hour length news blocks each day. (Meanwhile WQEX still carries shopping networks.)

What WQED should do is do just SD multicasting on WQED-DT, and then do the HD feed on WQEX-DT. That seems like the smart thing to do, anyway.
