Off and Streaming

WLS in Chicago started streaming their Noon newscast this week and so far "ABC 7 To Go," has gone on without any major glitches.

As FTVLive reported back in June, the station dumped their 11AM newscast and replaced it with a web only version.  

The station said they expected the streaming cast to last somewhere in the 8 to 10 minute range, but they went past that mark on the first day.  

The streaming cast was anchored by  Alan Krashesky (pictured). He fronted the newscast from the newsroom.

So far the newscast is airing without commercials. But we're sure the station's sales staff will be working to change that.
