Learn more about WLJT kids … 800-366-9558 or [email protected] Produced by CNBC, NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT is television's longest-running evening business-news broadcast, featuring in-depth reporting and analysis of the day's leading financial stories.

Looking back at NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT, the series was cre- ated in 1979 and produced through March 2013 under the direction of Linda O’Bryon, WPBT’s news director at the time, with as the original anchor.

In 2013 CNBC bought the series and , in 2014, the series was named best radio/TV show by the Society of American Business Editors and Writers. Every weeknight, the Emmy® Award-winning series—co-anchored by journalists Sue Herera and Bill Griffeth—has delivered trusted, credible and unbiased information to help business executives, financial professionals and the general public manage their busi- ness or personal finances.

In early November 2019 PBS stations were notified by CNBC that effective late December 2019 the series will cease production — the last NIGHTLY BUSINESS REPORT program will air Friday, December 27.

With this move, WLJT will introduce a fourth hour of primetime programming each Monday through Friday evening. The 5:30 p.m. slot will see programs typically aired weeknights at 10 p.m. — P. ALLEN SMITH’S GARDEN HOME, MOTORWEEK, TENNESSEE WILD SIDE and such — and, 10 p.m. will typically see a repeat of the 7 p.m. programming such as ANTIQUES ROADSHOW, CLAS- SIC GOSPEL and NATURE.

We hope you will let us know how you feel about the new line-up and be sure and tune in at 6 p.m. weeknights for your intelligent and insightful coverage and analysis of the days events on THE NEWSHOUR. SIGNS OFF
