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:
“There’s a long story, my friend. I never did like the idea of sitting on newspapers. I did it once and all the headlines came off on my white pants. On the level, it actually happened. Nobody bought a paper that day. They just followed me around over town and read the news off the seat of my pants.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)
“It is critical vision alone which can mitigate the unimpeded operation of the automatic.”
—Marshall McLuhan (1911–1980)
