No News in Texas

KXXV (Waco) did not air a 5 PM newscast and instead aired a news feed from Scripps.

The station posted that the reason for this was to let the staff enjoy the holidays with family.

But, an insider at KXXV says that was not the reason why the station blew off the 5 PM newscast.

The source tells FTVLive that a number of staffers are out of work with COVID symptoms.

In fact, the GM had sent out this memo to the staff earlier.

Not sure why the station couldn’t have said that COVID cases were causing the newscast to be scrubbed?

Then again, this is Texas.
