News Operation
The station operates its own news department while taking advantage of the statewide network to share news content from sister station WOWK (for state government coverage and Marshall University sports) and WBOY-TV (for West Virginia University sports). During all WVNS newscasts, weather forecasts are provided by WOWK's meteorologists based at that channel's facilities on 350 Quarrier Street in Charleston. West Virginia Media produces a half-hour evening newscast that airs at 5:30pm. The newscast, titled West Virginia Tonight Live, is broadcast live from the Charleston studios in high definition on all 4 stations and is anchored by April Kaull. It features stories from all West Virginia Media stations. In addition, there is a public affairs program called Decision Makers hosted by company president and CEO Bray Cary. This is simulcast on Saturday mornings at 9 and Sunday mornings at 8 on all West Virginia Media Holdings stations. Every night at 10, WVNS-DT2 offers a live, hour-long, 10 o'clock newscast known as Fox 59 News. Weekday mornings at 7, there is a rebroadcast of the second hour of the main channel's weekday morning show.
On March 28, 2013, WVNS became the first station in the market and the third station owned by West Virginia Media Holdings to upgrade its local newscasts to high definition. With the upgrade came new graphics and a new set.

Famous quotes containing the words news and/or operation:
“News of battle! News of battle!
Hark. ‘Tis ringing down the street
And the archways and the pavement
Bear the clang of hurrying feet.
News of battle. Who has brought it?”

“Human knowledge and human power meet in one; for where the cause is not known the effect cannot be produced. Nature to be commanded must be obeyed; and that which in contemplation is as the cause is in operation as the rule.”
