Since NBC40 out of Atlantic City is gone, some station needed to increase its presence in this region.

WCAU is doing this in a attempt to lure the former NBC40 (WMGM) news viewers to their station’s newscasts. You have to ask yourself this: Are the good people in Atlantic City in a forgiving mood? WMGM no longer has any newscasts now that they run ‘Soul Of The South.’ Their other station, WACP, is an Independent and doesn’t do newscasts, either. The people that used to work for NBC40 News are trying to find a LPTV station that they can do their newscasts on; they rather do that than work for WCAU!
