9News shows it takes weather alerts more seriously than its competitors.

Atlanta’s WATL has added a 7 pm newscast solely for the purpose of creating inventory for political ads for the runoff election for Georgia’s 6th Congressional district. The 7 pm newscast will run through June 20 – election day.

WATL is an affiliate of WXIA, the Tegna-owned NBC station in Atlanta. WATL and WXIA have the same affiliate arrangement as Denver’s 9News and KTVD/Channel 20 (also owned by Tegna).
