The station is starting a morning newscast at 7am from September 4, the timeslot for CBS Mornings over on CBS Detroit:

Meanwhile, like KBCW/KPYX, other indies are adding new newscasts in primetime: KTXA at 6.30 and KMAX at 8 under the name of Primetime Sacramento.

That morning newscast already exists. It is an extension of their existing morning newscast which is streaming-exclusive. Although CBS News Detroit prioritizes the streaming element of the offering, many of the hours air simultaneously on 62.

As for KTXA, they are back with primetime news: they had a two hour block of news between 2006 and 2011, based on KCAL's model of separating each hour into distinct broadcasts, one hour focusing on local news and another focusing on statewide, national and international news. The broadcast was wound up in 2011 due to budget cuts and low ratings: reduced to a half-hour that September, and then axed one month later.

That feels more and more that WPSG will become or go fully back to Philly 57. Also, looking at their line up, with the Now thing gone, they aren't back to 10pm News fully local it seems, but also seemingly running random specials at 8pm, maybe they are waiting to launch an 8pm newscast or something.

There are rumblings the Now experiment is being wound up. It was reported by Scott Jones/FTVLive in his paywalled Patreon blog.
