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:
“We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the Old World some weeks nearer to the New; but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad, flapping American ear will be that the Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“An absolute can only be given in an intuition, while all the rest has to do with analysis. We call intuition here the sympathy by which one is transported into the interior of an object in order to coincide with what there is unique and consequently inexpressible in it. Analysis, on the contrary, is the operation which reduces the object to elements already known.”
—Henri Bergson (1859–1941)
