PORTLAND — Viewers will have another choice for earlier news, beginning on Sept. 9, when News 8 anchor Tracy Sabol and meteorologist Roger Griswold will kickoff weekday broadcasts at 5 p.m.
“Viewers want more and continually tell us that they want News 8 earlier in the afternoon,” said Dave Abel, president and general manager of WMTW.
The addition means WMTW News 8 will be delivering more than 30 hours a week of local news. WMTW News 8 can be seen on Time Warner Channel 8 and 508.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
