Milwaukee's WISN-TV (Channel 12) is planning to add a 4 p.m. weekday newscast
WISN-TV (Channel 12) plans to start a 4 p.m. weekday newscast June 6.
The hourlong newscast will be co-anchored by Derrick Rose and Kristin Pierce, with the ABC affiliate's chief meteorologist Mark Baden doing the weather.
Pierce joined Channel 12 as the station's weekend news anchor in March. Rose, who joined the station in 2018, has anchored the station's 9 p.m. newscast airing on Channel 12.2.
Channel 12 has been running "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in the 4 p.m. slot. Starting June 6, that show, which is ending after this season, will move to 3 p.m.; it'll be replaced this fall by "The Jennifer Hudson Show." The "Tamron Hall" talk show, which currently airs at 3 p.m., will move to 2 p.m.

Channel 12 is the last of the four local television news operations to add a 4 p.m. newscast.
