The station has removed Podell's bio from its website. The station does not carry NBC's late night rerun of the fourth hour of Today along with Mad Money, preferring to carry an encore of the 11 p.m. newscast, infomercials and syndicated programming.

Additionally, through NBC's broadcast contract with the NHL, Detroit Red Wings games are also aired; this included their victory in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals. This is untrue. On cable, the station is available in standard definition on channel 14 on Comcast Xfinity's Detroit city system (Mount Clemens-licensed independent station WADL (channel 38) is carried on cable channel 4; this is an artifact of the analog age where Detroit's cable providers were unable to carry WDIV on cable channel 4 due to co-channel interference), channel 9 on Xfinity's South Oakland County system, channel 4 in other suburbs and outlying areas and on AT&T U-verse, and channel 5 on Cogeco's Windsor system, and in high definition on Xfinity channel 232, Cogeco channel 714, and U-verse channel 1004.

This week, the activist pastor, also known for leading picket lines at fast-food restaurants in support of a higher minimum wage, said he saw a link between Podell’s alleged comments and the attitude of intolerance fostered in this election year. On November 21, 2006, Wayne County Circuit Court Judge James Callahan sentenced Rivas to 16 to 32 years in prison for the shooting; he was also sentenced to two years for a felony firearm conviction. WDIV's news department operates a fleet of 14 newsgathering vehicles, including 11 standard news ENG (electronic news-gathering) Ford E350 vans with two-band digital microwave transmitters and video editing platforms. WDIV reporter Lauren Podell resigns over alleged racist slur They say it's not enough that WDIV-Channel 4 reporter Lauren Podell has resigned over a racist slur she uttered off the air, months ago. from the beginning of their respective syndication runs.


The station was therefore the only major network affiliate in Detroit to not be affected by the city's change in network affiliations in December 1994. That’s why, even though she resigned, we’re still going to protest” on Thursday, Rideout said. WDIV-TV also has a Mobile DTV feed of subchannel 4.1, labelled "Local 4", broadcasting at 1.83 Mbit/s.[10][11]. That’s when Rideout’s friend, Riddle, posted what Riddle said he'd recently heard "from unimpeachable, multiple sources in the media" that Podell had told a coworker. But by the mid-to-late 1970s, the Evening News Association was under pressure to break up its Detroit cluster voluntarily.

It was the first television station in Michigan and the tenth station to sign on in the United States overall. The incident was first confirmed in an e-mail sent Monday by WDIV Vice President Marla Drutz to a Detroit minister, who had demanded that the station apologize to Detroiters. Fearing that an FCC-forced divestiture was imminent, the Evening News Association agreed to trade WWJ-TV to the Washington Post Company in return for that company's flagship station, WTOP-TV (later WDVM-TV and now WUSA). Drutz told the Free Press on Tuesday that the incident occurred last March. [8][9], WDIV's second digital subchannel formally carried programming from NBC Weather Plus, which folded in November 2008. Viewer demand resulted in the station relaunching the noon newscast on the television station on January 13, 2014. Rivas was charged with attempted murder, while Owens remained in the hospital in critical but stable condition. Drutz did not respond to a voicemail request for comment. Rebroadcasts of movies from This TV also air several times a year in prime time on WDIV's main channel (usually Saturday nights so no new network programming is affected) to recover revenue from developing news and weather events where sustained coverage preempts commercials, and to fulfill "make goods" for local advertisers. [26], This article is about WDIV, which originally held the WWJ-TV call letters. WDIV-TV presently broadcasts 36½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with six hours each weekday, three hours on Saturdays and 3½ hours on Sundays).

Network programming was broadcast in color starting in 1954. The WWJ-TV call sign was later adopted for use by the former WGPR-TV (channel 62), after its 1995 purchase by CBS, which had acquired WWJ radio in 1989; the current WWJ-TV is a separate entity and not related to WDIV. NBC programming is still occasionally preempted for special events, including the annual Ford Fireworks on the Detroit International Riverfront and America's Thanksgiving Parade (whose coverage, incidentally, preempts the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade broadcast on the station) and on occasion, infomercials. Instead, it aired on WADL (channel 38) at noon on a day-behind basis, while WDIV aired daytime talk shows at 2 p.m.; Houston sister station KPRC-TV did this as well until August 30, 2004 when it became the last NBC station to carry Passions at 2 p.m. It created a storm of controversy with the Hamtramck community. It's also carried on several other Canadian cable providers including Rogers Cable in the capital city of Ottawa well away from the range of its signal.
The building has also housed the headquarters of Graham Media Group since 1997; the "Local" branding now utilized by most of the group's stations began at WDIV alongside its acquiring of flagship status in 2000. In February, Variety reported that 21st Century Fox, Fox Television Stations Group’s parent company, was aiming to reduce staff overhead by $250 million in the 2017 fiscal year. "However, as you can understand, this is a personnel matter. This makes WDIV-TV the third station in the Detroit market to have been affiliated with Cozi TV, which was previously on WMYD and on WADL. Drutz implied in her e-mail that the alleged quote was not entirely accurate. As the co-flagship of the Pistons' television network, WDIV was the local outlet that televised the game between the Pistons and the Indiana Pacers on the night of November 19, 2004, which led to the most infamous brawl in NBA history near that game's conclusion; the station also aired any Pistons games via NBC's broadcast contract with the NBA from 1990 to 2002. Ultimately, the FCC never imposed any limitations on ownership of television stations and newspapers in the same market and the exchange of stations between the Evening News Association and the Washington Post Company (which was renamed Graham Holdings Company following the sale of The Washington Post in 2013) became somewhat unusual in television broadcasting. [17] WDIV currently airs the entire NBC schedule, though while Late Night now airs at its usual time of 12:35 a.m., it airs A Little Late with Lilly Singh at 2:35 a.m. instead of 1:35 a.m. due to a rebroadcast of the 11 p.m. news and an infomercial. This was during the heyday of NBC's late-night success Second City Television and Joe Flaherty's Count Floyd. The device was detonated minutes later, with police giving the all-clear at 11:15 p.m. for the news crew to re-enter the studio.[7]. In August 2013, WDIV dropped its noon newscast and converted it into an online-only broadcast in order to attract viewers who are at work during that timeslot. Syndicated programs carried on WDIV-TV include Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Rachael Ray and Inside Edition.

The station also carried any Tigers games when they were featured nationally as part of NBC's MLB coverage from its 1947 sign-on until 1989; this included World Series victories in 1968 and 1984. Channel 4 had a number of broadcasting firsts in Michigan including the first telecast of Detroit Tigers, Red Wings and Lions games as well as the state's first televised newscasts. On the evening of April 14, 2011, a suitcase containing a suspected improvised explosive device was left in the WDIV studio lobby after the person who planted the device was denied entry by the station's security guard, prompting the Detroit Police Bomb Squad to evacuate the studio as well as the Doubletree Hotel across the street. (this was the second half of the show's two-hour weekday block on MeTV, the first half had already concluded on the national feed). Truth is his staff in his voyage through life; commonplaces are the bread in his bag and the wine in his jug.”—Rémy De Gourmont (1858–1915).

[17] WDIV-TV used this as leverage for its decision to pull the programs from the schedule of CBC owned-and-operated station CBET-DT in Windsor during the 2011–12 season,[18] a year before the CBC decided to cancel their broadcasts of the shows entirely.[19].
