The local 10:00 p.m. newscasts WPMI-TV and WEAR-TV produced on Thursday, February 14th were extended beyond the times they were set to end originally due to news about the arrival of the disabled cruise ship "Triumph" of the Carnival Cruise Lines at the Alabama Cruise Terminal in Mobile. The newscast produced by WPMI-TV by 10:54 p.m. and the newscast produced by WEAR-TV ended by 11:21 p.m.

As a result of WPMI-TV ending their newscast later than usual on February 14th, their broadcast of "Tonight", a variety show from NBC, began by 10:54 p.m. (rather than its normal start time of 10:35 p.m.) with the program all ready in progress.
