"NewsHour" live online

By David Kronke on May 24, 2006 2:25 PM | | Comments (0)

Network news has traditionally treated the West Coast with something less than respect: We essentially get three-hour-old news from the broadcast newscasts. ABC experimented with updating "World News Tonight" for West Coast viewers for a while earlier this year but quietly abandoned the practice after Bob Woodruff's tragic injury in Iraq.

KCET is trying to right this wrong, however, offering "The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer" in a live webcast afternoons at 3 p.m. Otherwise, it airs at 7 p.m. on Channel 28. This is part of a three-month trial to gauge viewer interest.

So if you're a news junkie and your boss is usually absent in the afternoons, you now have a new way of keeping up with the world.
