13 ABC takes over the news on Fox 36 on 9/28

A place to go for those of you who wish to discuss happenings in OH, IN, IL, WI, and Ontario. OSU sucks, by the way.

WUPW ran it for so many years. Wonder who initiated the change?

WUPW and WTVG are now sister stations since Gray purchased WUPW from American Spirit earlier this year. So the agreement for WTOL to run WUPW including having 11's news broadcast on 36 is no longer in effect.

Shows how much I watch TV these days. Granted, WJBK is far easier to receive my way than WUPW. 11 and 13 were always the easiest.

Put it on this morning and the news WTVG is running on 36 is pretty amateur hour. Just one anchor, not Ethan and Claire who are the main ones on 13's morning news. WTOL at least had their main morning crew on at 7 am on 36 as well.

WUPW has never had a long-term news operation without changes in management. When they started airing newscasts in 1996, they were produced by WTOL. In 2000, they went indie, which lasted until American Spirit bought the station in 2012. WTOL started producing the newscasts, and in 2026, WTVG produces newscasts now.

CW13 no longer airs newscasts, and WTOL now airs 10 PM Newscasts on their streaming app only.
