Late Night with... Greg Peterson?

KMTV logoKMTV doesn't have a weekend morning newscast. But that was not the case Saturday.

Because the NCAA Tournament games ran long (the Washington-Connecticut game even went into overtime), the "Action 3 News" 10 p.m. newscast was delayed until 12:11 a.m. Saturday (though the station's on-screen clock read 12:08 a.m.).

"Good morning everyone," Greg Peterson said off the top of the newscast.

The after-midnight start is not the latest an Omaha station has broadcast a 10 p.m. newscast. KETV staffers suffered through many a post-midnight shift during the "Monday Night Football" years. And as recently as last fall's baseball season, KPTM actually canceled one of its 9 p.m. newscasts when a World Series game went 13th innings.
