WNDY-TV - Newscasts

Newscasts

On March 16, 1996, WTHR entered into a news share agreement with WNDY resulting in a nightly prime time newscast Eyewitness News at 10 on Indy TV (later Eyewitness News at 10 on UPN Indiana. However, the partnership ended when WNDY was purchased by LIN TV. WISH-TV assumed production responsibility of the prime time broadcasts starting February 28, 2005. The show is now called 24 Hour News 8 at 10 on My INDY TV. On September 8, 2008, WISH-TV became the second in Indiana and Indianapolis to air local newscasts in high definition with the WNDY shows being included in the upgrade. On January 5, 2009 at 7 in the morning, this channel added an hour-long extension of WISH-TV's weekday morning show 24 Hour News 8 Daybreak. The news at 10 is now an hour long on Sunday nights.
