Editing WTTA (section)

===Media General/Nexstar era===
{{see|WFLA-TV#News operation}}
On August 9, 2014, WTTA debuted ''Great 38 News Now'', a series of brief weather and news reports, running thirty seconds in length, three times a day. Initially, the news updates, which debuted eleven days before Media General's acquisition of WTTA, were produced by former sister station [[WPEC]] in [[West Palm Beach]]. The program since expanded as a half-hour public affairs show on Sundays at 7&nbsp;p.m., which was eventually canceled. At the beginning of 2015, production transferred to WFLA-TV, from that station's own studios in Tampa.

On January 4, 2016, WFLA once again began producing a local newscast for WTTA, this time, a nightly hour-long newscast at 8&nbsp;p.m. under the title ''NewsChannel 8 at 8:00 on Great 38'', pushing MyNetworkTV programming back one hour. On August 7, 2017, WFLA began producing another local newscast for WTTA, this time, a two-hour expansion of the former's morning newscast from 7 to 9&nbsp;a.m. under the title ''NewsChannel 8 Today on Great 38'', with the second hour titled ''Make Today Gr8 with Gayle and Leigh'', which is hosted by WFLA morning co-anchor Gayle Guyardo and WFLA morning meteorologist Leigh Spann.

On April 5, 2020, WFLA expanded into Spanish-language news coverage with the addition of a half-hour 9&nbsp;p.m. newscast airing weeknights entitled ''Noticias Tampa Hoy'' on WTTA.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.wfla.com/noticias-tampa-hoy/ | title=WFLA News Channel 8 to Launch Noticias Tampa Hoy! | date=March 23, 2021 }}</ref> WFLA also hosts [https://www.wfla.com/tampa-hoy/ a complementary website] which features local news in Spanish.
