INDIANAPOLIS — Circle City Broadcasting is expanding local news programming on WRTV-ABC with the return of weekend morning newscasts.
The station will begin airing live news from 7 to 8 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays in July, marking the first time in eight years WRTV has had weekend morning coverage. The first Sunday broadcast is set for July 5, while the first Saturday newscasts will begin on July 11.
Circle City Broadcasting owner, President and CEO DuJuan McCoy said the goal is to provide consistent local coverage throughout the week.
“This relaunch of weekend morning news on WRTV comes eight years to the weekend that the previous owner canceled all weekend morning news,” McCoy said. “To be a viable news station, you must be in the local news business seven days a week and in all traditional news viewing time periods to serve our community.”
With the addition of weekend morning news, WRTV-ABC under Circle City Broadcasting ownership will have added 10 hours of live local news, political and sports programming each week.
The expansion reflects CCB’s continued commitment to providing more local news and journalistic content for the Indianapolis community.
