D Live TV is enhancing its community-focused content by expanding its local news and talk show programming.
The network announced on August 20 that it has increased the scheduling of local news and talk shows addressing regional issues since August 17.
While maintaining live broadcasts of news at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m., the number of rebroadcasts has been increased from four to six. The morning news will be rebroadcast at 1 p.m. and 3 p.m., while the evening news will air again at 7 p.m., 9 p.m., 11 p.m., and the following day at 1 a.m.
Notably, some rebroadcasts that were previously scheduled during the day and early morning have been moved to prime evening viewing hours to improve accessibility to local news for viewers. D Live TV aims to establish a regular programming flow with the slogan 'D Live News at Odd Hours' to foster viewing habits and brand recognition for local news.
The network has also expanded its AI-driven local news content, 'AI Weekly News,' by 50%. The frequency has increased from two broadcasts a day, ten times a week, to three broadcasts a day, fifteen times a week, with the addition of evening slots to the existing morning and afternoon schedules. Future plans include strengthening region-specific content linked to local news.
The talk show 'Real Interview,' which addresses local issues, will also resume regular programming. D Live TV will restart production of 'Real Interview,' which was temporarily halted during the election broadcast period, with its first episode airing at 6 p.m. on the same day. The program delves deeply into local agendas with various opinion leaders in the community.
D Live TV has been producing its own content to cover local issues and lifestyle information that are difficult to address in national broadcasts, particularly focusing on the Seoul and Gyeonggi regions. This programming overhaul aims to expand not only local news but also talk shows, thereby strengthening connections with viewers.
Kim Hyun-tae, CEO of D Live TV, stated, 'Through the expansion of our news programming, we will enhance local programming during prime viewing hours and further promote the public role of local channels and strengthen regional competitiveness.'
