Univision affiliate WFDC in Washington, D.C. will no longer produce weekend newscasts.
Instead, the Entravision-operated station will replace the half-hour newscasts with a weekly news recap segment that will air on Saturdays at 6 pm and Sundays at 11 pm.
The new 30 minute segment will highlight the previous week’s top news.
A company spokesperson said there will be no layoffs and issued the following statement about the cancellation of the newscasts:
“The shift in programming at Univision WFDC-TV in Washington D.C. reflects the company’s effort to strengthen and better support the station’s full newscast and team. This adjustment also demonstrates Entravision’s ongoing commitment to providing its Washington D.C. U.S. Latino community with the highest quality and most relevant content and news at all times. Programming changes will include a new weekly recap segment that will air on Saturdays at 6:00 PM and Sundays at 11:00 PM, highlighting the previous week’s (Mon-Fri) top news. “Perspectiva Nacional” will continue to air on Saturdays at 11:00 PM and Sundays at 6:00 PM.”
I’m starting to really hate Entravision has changed in 6 of their other affiliates they’ve switched local newscast from being produced in that area to it being produced from another station so anchors are from another station (not local) but reporters are still local filing reports. Some stations are merging their newscast that are not in the same market but in the same state and that’s stupid. And then they cancel this weekend newscast this was Washington only newscast in Spanish on the weekends fuck you Entravision fuck you NoticiasDC for approving it. It was a great show.

Thanks to Sara Suarez!!!.News Director Washigton and Boston…
So if your saying she a terrible news director I agree with you. But if you’re saying it out of excitement I hate you. I didn’t understand you comment.
You need not have hatred for anyone, that’s not good, possibly there was no money to follow the news of the weekend, Suarez is not a good person is the worst known in this business … did much damage, a council , go forward nothing lasts forever
See I don’t like that and you just admitted that she the worst news directors in this business. And you’re wrong about saying ”go forward nothing last forever” when it comes to news everything last forever its to improve people’s lives and keep them informed. And you just said she did ”…much damage” you admitted that.
