WMUR, the ABC-affiliate in Manchester, will launch a 10 p.m. newscast next month.

The newscast, which will debut on March 5, will be anchored by Tom Griffith and Tiffany Eddy. Chief meteorologist Mike Haddad and sports director Jamie Staton will also contribute.

Griffith and Eddy currently helm “New Hampshire Chronicle,” WMUR’s daily newsmagazine. As they transition to the 10 p.m. newscast, Erin Fehlau and Sean McDonald will take over as “Chronicle” hosts.

“Tom and Tiffany launched ‘Chronicle’ 10 years ago and have done a fabulous job!” WMUR said in a statement. “We want to thank them for all their wonderful shows.”

Beginning in January, Manchester’s WMUR will produce a 10 p.m. weekday newscast for the station’s digital subchannel, a Me-TV affiliate.

Plans for the newscast have been in development since 2010, according to the station. In a statement, WMUR president and general manager Jeff Bartlett said the goal is to give viewers a choice between a local newscast on the subchannel and the entertainment programming that airs at 10 p.m. on the main channel, which is the Manchester ABC-affiliate.

Anchors will be Tom Griffith and Tiffany Eddy. They will be joined by chief meteorologist Mike Haddad and sports director Jamie Staton.
