WPIX in New York is launching a 4p.m. newscast. The station is promising good “story-telling.” Presumably that will include news.

NPR listeners: Lulu Garcia Navarro is leaving the network at the end of October. The host of Weekend Edition Sunday made the announcement on Twitter. If you’re guessing who her replacement might be, recent fill-in hosts include, but are not limited to; Tamara Keith and Asma Khalid.
