The station plans to develop a news department and eventually produce nightly Spanish-language local newscasts.
KEYE started producing newscasts in high definition on November 1, 2007.
The station also used to produce newscasts in Korean and Tagalog.
WTCG made its name also by producing humorous, satirical newscasts.
Troy University Television broadcasts three live entirely student produced newscasts twice daily.
The station also produced Korean and Tagalog newscasts but this has since been discontinued.
The news department produces hourly newscasts, featured news, public service announcements and community outreach programs.
Equity also produced Spanish-language local newscasts at 5 and 10 pm, originating out of the company's program production center in Davenport, Iowa.
The station also produces newscasts at 5, 6, and 10 p.m. each weeknight.
The two employees of the smaller station will now need help scheduling and airing the network and local programs, much less producing several newscasts a day.
