4:00 style

Most of the 4:00 newscasts I've seen around the country are much more feature oriented with more of just a headline approach to the actual news. KOMO in Seattle is a good example.

Regarding former Spokane anchor Richard Brown, I agree he is a good anchor, but his serious authoritative style probably would not suit 4:00.

One exception to this "4:00 style" is WLS (ABC-7) Chicago. They treat their 4:00 cast almost like any other, even with a sports segment!

And yes, there have been several attempts at pre-5pm news in Seattle and Portland over the past few decades. Almost all have failed.
