"Life is so demanding, we want to make it easy for people to stay informed and get connected at a time that works for them," added Linda Miele, news director. "Our new 7 p.m. newscast will help them do that."
WHDH, currently an NBC affiliate, will lose that affiliation at the end of the year, as NBCUniversal plans to launch an NBC-owned station in the market.
