WTGS - Newscasts

Newscasts

Through a news share agreement in place since the late-1990s, WJCL produces an hour-long nightly prime time newscast on this station. Currently known as WTGS Fox News at Ten, the production maintains separate news anchors on weeknights. For awhile, WTGS also simulcasted WJCL's Good Morning Show on weekdays from 5 until 7 but that broadcast dropped at some point in time. On March 16, 2009, WJCL became the first outlet in Savannah to upgrade local newscasts to high definition and the nightly news on WTGS was included.

On October 28, 2010, it was announced the two outlets would combine operations with the Savannah Morning News and be relocated to the newspaper's facility on Chatham Parkway in Savannah. The stations began broadcasting at their new location on October 4, 2011. It is the only Savannah-based television outlet to maintain a physical presence in South Carolina's Lowcountry with a bureau on Fording Island Road in Hilton Head.
