News Operation
Unlike most ABC stations in the Eastern Time Zone, WPLG did not carry a newscast in the 5 p.m. timeslot opting to air Dr. Phil instead. However, as of August 22, 2011 WPLG once again began airing a 5 p.m. - 6 p.m. newscast in place of the Dr. Phil Show which moved to WFOR CBS4 in the Fall 2011. WPLG deployed "Sky 10", Miami's first news helicopter in 1979. After with the move to its Pembroke Park studios, WPLG became the third Miami station to broadcast its local newscasts in high definition on March 28, 2009, during its 6:30 p.m. newscast.
Since 1993, WPLG has used several versions of Gari Media Group's "The One and Only" music package, which was named after one of its long-time slogans.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“The technological landscape of the present day has enfranchised its own electorates—the inhabitants of marketing zones in the consumer goods society, television audiences and news magazine readerships... vote with money at the cash counter rather than with the ballot paper at the polling booth.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
“You may read any quantity of books, and you may almost as ignorant as you were at starting, if you don’t have, at the back of your minds, the change for words in definite images which can only be acquired through the operation of your observing faculties on the phenomena of nature.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
