News Operation
As a semi-satellite of WJTV, WHLT currently only simulcasts its parent outlet's weekday morning show. The latter station does not air WJTV's newscasts seen weekdays at noon, weeknights at 5 and/or at 6, as well as weekends. The weeknight edition of the CBS Evening News is shown taped-delayed at 6 on WHLT as opposed to the regular time slot like other CBS affiliates in the Central Time Zone. Usually, most semi-satellites of another station provide some coverage of their home territory (in this case, the Pine Belt of Mississippi). On May 8, 2012, WHLT began offering a twenty minute abbreviated newscast seen weeknights at 10 (known as WHLT 22 News) featuring two personalities based out of its Hattiesburg studios.
During that program, a weather segment (branded as "Storm Team 22") that is taped in advance at WJTV's facility airs on the Hattiesburg station. WHLT then simulcasts its parent for national/world news and sports headlines until 10:35. That station will sometimes share video footage with WJTV for regional coverage of Mississippi essentially acting as a bureau. At some point in spring 2012, WJTV upgraded local news production to 16:9 enhanced definition widescreen. It is unknown if the simulcasts aired on WHLT and its abbreviated newscast seen weeknights at 10 was included in the change.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“Go into all the world and proclaim the good news to the whole creation.”
—Bible: New Testament, Mark 16:15.
Jesus.
“It requires a surgical operation to get a joke well into a Scotch understanding. The only idea of wit, or rather that inferior variety of the electric talent which prevails occasionally in the North, and which, under the name of “Wut,” is so infinitely distressing to people of good taste, is laughing immoderately at stated intervals.”
—Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
