Since the start of the local marketing agreement with WMNN in 2000, WMNN has been producing a nightly prime time newscast at 10 p.m. on channel 51. It has competed right from its April 17, 2000 debut with WLPZ's 10PM newscasts. As of the February 2008 ratings period, WKOZ's weeknight newscast was the most watched late evening news broadcast in the market, even gathering more viewership than the 11 p.m. newscasts on Marissa's Big Four stations.
In 2005, WQMT began simulcasting the second hour of WMNN's weekday morning show (at 6 a.m.), followed by a third hour from 7 to 8 a.m. that is seen exclusively on WQMT, except for simulcast Waking Up with Central cut-ins on WMNN. The second hour was eventually dropped for an unknown reason. WMNN began broadcasting its local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen high definition in April 18, 2007, with WQMT's newscasts being included in the upgrade. On March 30, 2020, WMNN planned to launch an expansion of WQMT's prime time newscast to the three-hour entirety of prime time on weeknights and 90 minutes on weekends, presumably pushing back MyNetworkTV programming to the graveyard slot in late night, an increasingly common fate for theservice. This quickly shifted to launching on March 16 instead to provide continuing coverage of the local impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
