==Newscasts== From 1996 until 2000 through a news share agreement, [[NBC]] affiliate WSTM-TV produced a 30-minute prime time newscast on WSYT called ''Fox 68 News at 10''. After WSTM-TV declined to renew the arrangement, WSYT then established a new outsourcing agreement with [[CBS]] outlet [[WTVH]]. As a result, a new nightly news program began airing on the station with the name ''Fox 68 [[Eyewitness News]] at 10''. Eventually, an hour-long weekday morning show (also produced by WTVH) debuted and was called ''Fox 68 Eyewitness News at 7''. Both of the programs featured the same branding as WTVH's newscasts did at the time. Meanwhile, in 2003, in order to offer competition in the 10 o'clock slot, WSTM-TV brought back its own half-hour newscast for newly acquired sister station WSTQ-LP that was seen only on weeknights. In April 2006, WTVH ceased producing all local news programming for WSYT in order to focus on its own newscasts that were cemented in third place by this point. Ironically, the nightly 10 o'clock broadcasts were WTVH's most successful having soundly beat WSTM-TV's effort on WSTQ-LP in the [[Nielsen ratings|ratings]]. Since dropping news programming from the CBS outlet, WSYT remains one of a handful of [[Big Four television networks|big four network]]-affiliated stations throughout the United States (and the largest Fox station in terms of market size, since former sister station WUTV in Buffalo, the previous largest market with a non-news Fox affiliate, added newscasts in 2013) that does not operate its own news department or air local newscasts through a partnership with a [[Big Three television networks|big three]] station.
