FOX56 News Launches New 7 p.m. Newscast
Just 5 months after launching a 4-hour morning newscast and a half hour news at 6:30 p.m., FOX 56 NEWS is expanding with a new half hour of news at 7 p.m.
"Our morning and 6:30 p.m. newscasts found an audience immediately,” said Monte Costes, VP and General Manager of FOX 56. “Central Kentucky has made FOX 56 the number one choice for late news, and now they’re choosing to watch our news in other dayparts."
FOX 56 News at 6:30 p.m. is anchored by Marvin Bartlett and Emani Payne. Payne will solo anchor the new 7 p.m. newscast. “At 7:00 p.m., families are settling in for the night. This new newscast will be tailored toward information families can use,” said Mark Glover, News Director of FOX 56 News. “We will focus on cost-of-living issues, as well as a nightly dose of good news.”
“For years, only one local station produced news at 7:00 p.m.,” Marvin Bartlett, Managing Editor of FOX 56 News. “Now, Central Kentucky will have a choice at 7 and we think viewers will like what they see.” FOX 56 News at 7 p.m. will feature Marvin Bartlett’s popular Spirit of the Bluegrass stories, and Kristen Pflum’s Bluegrass Crime Stoppers reports.
“The 7 p.m. news was developed with Central Kentuckians in mind. It airs at a time when everyone can sit down and watch a newscast”, said Fox 56 News Anchor Emani Payne. “Fox 56 News at 7 will use that time to focus on the issues impacting every Central Kentucky family including the rising cost of gas, groceries and rent.”
