For the second time in six weeks, a Cincinnati TV station will debut a Sunday public affairs show produced by its owners.

WLWT-TV premieres Hearst Television’s “Matter of Fact” Sunday (11 a.m., Channel 5). Radio host, author and political commentator Fernando Espuelas will host the show from the Newseum in Washington D.C.

“'Matter of Fact' will complement our weekend information programming on WLWT-TV, with a focus on timely national issues of interest to the community,” said Richard Dyer, Channel 5 president and general manager in a media release.

Sinclair Broadcast Group’s new “Full Measure” airs 11 a.m. Sundays on WKRC-TV (Channel 12).
