WYCW - Newscasts

Newscasts

WSPA produces a nightly prime time newscast on WYCW known as NewsChannel 7 at 10 on Your CW. The show airs for thirty minutes competing with an hour-long broadcast seen on WHNS and half-hour news offered on WMYA (produced by WLOS seen weeknights). There is also a two-hour extension of WSPA's weekday morning show seen on WYCW. Known as NewsChannel 7 Daybreak on Your CW, this is seen from 7 until 9 and has competition with WHNS's newscast. On September 16, 2007, WSPA upgraded its newscasts to high definition as the first station in the market to do so.

WYCW's newscasts were included in the upgrade which introduced a graphics package similar to Media General flagship WFLA-TV in Tampa, Florida. In 2008, news anchor Amy Wood launched "CW Live Chat" during the weeknight prime time show. At the time, it was one of the nation's first interactive live broadcasts with an anchor hosting the chat live while simultaneously anchoring on-air. In addition to the main studios in Spartanburg, there is an Anderson Bureau on South Main Street/SC 28. Media General maintains a Columbia Bureau on Assembly Street/SC 48 covering the Capitol for its stations in and around South Carolina.
