KTBS Expands Evening News

A tipster tells me KTBS/Channel 3/Shreveport, expands its evening news at 6pm to one hour. Channel 11/KTHV in Little Rock did this awhile back and I was very skeptical but they have pulled it off. I think if a station does this they need to do more than the usual news. 11 added features in addition to retelling the top stories in their 630 pm newscast. I am anxious to see what KTBS can do to fill an additional 30 minutes. No doubt it will be cheaper for the station versus having to pay for a syndicated program to air in that time.

Update: Here's the lineup as of today:

4:00 Jeopardy
4:30 Inside Edition
5:00 KTBS News
5:30 ABC Evening News
6:00 KTBS News
6:30 KTBS Extended News
