Lexington ABC affiliate WTVQ-36 is canceling its 5 p.m. newscast and considering changing its “Action News 36” slogan as it continues making broad changes to its news operation.
Station management told the staff at a Thursday meeting that the 5 p.m. news would be replaced by an episode of the syndicated Judge Judy beginning in September. It has no plans to cut other newscasts.
“If you're doing 30 minutes less news programming a day, it means you can put more resources into the time periods when you are doing news,” said General Manager Chris Aldridge.
