NBC's
WLWT News 5 at 7 p.m. Monday, July 26. The one-hour
WLWT News 5 at 4 p.m. will debut Monday, Aug. 9, after the Olympics conclude.
To make room for the city's fourth local newscast at 4 p.m., WLWT-TV will move Ellen DeGeneres' syndicated talk show to 3 p.m. for her 19th and final season. It's a pre-emptive move by Channel 5 to use
Ellen as a lead-to build a local news habit at 4 p.m.
