Channel 6, Milwaukee's Fox affiliate, is "suspending" its weekend morning newscasts, along with the 6 p.m. Saturday and 5 p.m. Sunday broadcasts, because of the tightening economy.
The changes hit the first weekend in April -- the beginning of the second quarter -- and include the return to the Saturday morning lineup of Gus Gnorski's "Ask Gus" show.
General manager Chuck Steinmetz says he hopes to bring those newscasts back when things get better.
"That?s why we use the word suspend and not cancel,? he says.
