WBDT - Newscasts

Newscasts

On September 16, 2002, the nationally syndicated morning show, The Daily Buzz, premiered from WBDT's studios. The program, then produced by then-parent ACME Communications, remained based at the station until its August 2004 move to the facilities of former sister station WKCF in Lake Mary, Florida near Orlando. The Daily Buzz currently airs on WBDT weekdays from 6 a.m. until 9 a.m., with local weather forecasts inserted into the broadcast.

On August 18, 2007, WDTN began to produce a nightly prime time newscast for WBDT known as 2 News at 10 on Dayton's CW. On the 26th day of its broadcast, this show achieved higher ratings than WRGT's nightly prime time news (produced by WKEF) in Dayton's metered market households.

On July 21, 2012, WDTN began broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. The WBDT shows were included in the upgrade.
