ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - Twin Cities-based KSTC-TV is resuming a 9 p.m. local newscast that it dropped six years ago.
The station debuts the 30-minute newscast Monday night.
Megan Newquist will anchor the 9 p.m. weeknight newscast. Newquist joins Channel 45 from WTVQ-TV in Lexington, Ky.
KSTC also began a two-hour morning show on Monday. The 7:09a.m. weekday show will feature Vineeta Sawkar, Art Barron, Rebekah Wood, Patrick Hammer and Rusty Gatenby (GAYT'-en-bee) from sister station KSTP-TV.
KSTC is owned by Hubbard Broadcasting Inc. The station dropped its 9 p.m. newscast in early 2003, citing a lack of viewers.
