Occasionally I tune into 680 Newsradio on weekends just to know the news updates and what not.

A couple Saturdays ago, I noticed the 6pm newscasts only had 1 anchor, and after the :15 minute headlines and sports, a prerecorded news from the 12pm newscast anchors alternate on the half hour news time frame. The traffic and cottage reporters would self introduce themselves on the on the :21 and :19 respectively.

This weekend the same is happening, but with both evenings tonight.

I noticed the 1 anchor format began about 1.5 year ago with the overnight news, but I guess to save more money, they are doing the same to the weekend 6pm news.

By cutting back to one anchor it frees up money to hire Chris Potter.
