(Source KCTV 5 website) -NBC 41 has announced that they will discontinue the 9pm weekend news on their sister station KMCI channel 38 and move weekend anchor Anthony Powel and new meteorologist Doug Heady to mornings on NBC 41. Other moves include moving morning meteorologist Brain Greenwald to weekends. This leaves weekend anchor Keith King solo and making the morning show a two anchor show. These changes will take affect in one week. -Look for KMCI channel 38 to have their own news set and imaging calling their weeknight news at 9pm "38 News Now". They have dropped "Family Greats" and are now called KMCI 38. Could more newscasts be added in the future as they try to separate them self's from sister station NBC 41. This is all to help 38 when they move tower sites from Lawrence, Kansas to Kansas City making KMCI one of the strongest Television stations in the City. This tower move could happen and be up and running by next year at this time. -Retro Saturday Night (7p-12a) has been moved from KMXV Mix 93.3 to sister station KSCR Star 102. Could Mix be looking at something new for Saturday nights? Stay tuned!
