KSNV will debut a 7 p.m. newscast and shuffle its anchor lineup this fall, the Las Vegas NBC affiliate announced today.

The 7 p.m. newscast will be anchored by Jim Synder and Jessica Moore, who currently anchor the 5 and 11 p.m. newscasts. The pair will continue to anchor the 5 p.m. newscast.

In place of Synder and Moore at 11 p.m., Reed Cowan, who currently anchors at 4 p.m., will add the 11 p.m. newscast to his schedule. He will anchor alongside Mackenzie Warren, who is currently a KSNV reporter.

Weekend evening anchor Gerard Ramalho will move to weekdays, anchoring the 6 p.m. newscast alongside Marie Mortera. On weekends, Krystal Allen moves from mornings to evenings. Michelle Velez will be the new weekend morning anchor.

“These are very exciting times at News 3 as KSNV prepares to launch the only 7:00 p.m. newscast in southern Nevada,” VP-GM Lisa Howfield said in a statement. “We are genuinely thrilled to expand our news operation to cover all the important stories with a team of dedicated journalists in the field and at the anchor desk.”

“Ralston Reports,” which currently airs at 7:30 p.m., will shift an hour earlier to 6:30 p.m.

Anchor Dan Ball has been cut loose at KSNV, the NBC-affiliate in Las Vegas, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal.

Ball’s last day was Monday, general manager Lisa Howfield said. Ball anchored the 4 p.m. newscast with Marie Mortera and the 11 p.m. newscast with Jessica Moore.

“All things must come to an end, so after nearly 4 years with KSNV News, the time has come to move on … I have enjoyed working at Channel 3!” Ball wrote on Twitter.

The Review-Journal describes Ball’s time at KSNV as “sometimes turbulent,” reporting that the anchor was “regularly at odds with management and fellow staffers.”

>Update: Howfield confirms to TVSpy that Ball is no longer with the station, but says it is KSNV policy not to comment on personnel matters.
