Apart from regular 'live' weekday broadcasts from the House, the network will have the flexibility to give the big Parliamentary occasion its due.

The weekday broadcasts have also been expanded, by 1 hour.

Kuralt was replaced on the weekday broadcasts in March 1982.

The weekday broadcast expanded to three hours in 2000, and to four hours in 2007.

"I can't wait to get to it," Mr. Rather said last week of his role as a correspondent on the weekday broadcast of "60 Minutes."

The biggest differences include the top prize of €25,000 and changing the program to a forty-five minute (with commercials) weekday broadcast.

In addition, each full weekday broadcast is available for viewing that same night after 9:00 PM Eastern.

The station launched its morning program, Good Day Oregon, in 1996 as a three-hour weekday broadcast.

Its weekday broadcasts in the morning, at 5, and 10 are streamed live on the station's website.

The morning newscast also expanded to weekends which, unlike the weekday broadcast, is only one hour.
