Umm, well yes and no.  For a long time, the mid day and afternoon anchors 
have worked in 30 minute shifts, such that, for example,  Anthony does a 
half hour and then Dianne does a half hour.  The top stories and most 
everything else seem to re-cycle every half hour, although some of the 
features are in fixed positions-- business news at 25 past, for example, or 
"LaPierre on the Loose" at 11 or 12 past the hour.

Btw, when was the last time a local station like WBZ or WRKO did an 
editorial?  I used to hear lots of them when I was growing up, but in 
recent times, it seems they have fallen out of fashion.
