the station had news operations from its beginning, but ceased broadcasting a 6:00 p.m. newscast in the fall of 1965, due to a mass exodus of viewers to wben-tv. in lieu of a 6:00pm newscast, wkbw-tv's evening newscast aired at 7:20pm in its early years. from 1970 to september 1, 2003 and again since october 27, 2008, wkbw-tv has called its news operation "eyewitness news" and used variations of the iconic circle 7 logo ever since. however, since the fall of 1972, it borrowed most of the basic elements of the "action news" format used at longtime sister station wpvi-tv in philadelphia, combined with the format news director irv weinstein developed and called "rock 'n' roll radio news" (modified for television). it even used "move closer to your world," the theme song made famous by wpvi-tv (though it was known by the station as "the eyewitness news theme"). furthermore, wkbw-tv was a source for much of wpvi-tv's on-air talent. weinstein was wkbw-tv's main anchor from 1964 until his retirement on new year's eve 1998, doubling as news director for most of that time. from 1965 to 1989, he was partnered with sports director rick azar and weatherman tom jolls (who had been poached from wben-tv and did double duty as host of "commander tom"); the three formed the longest continuously running anchor team in television history until azar's retirement in 1989. the noon newscast, during the mid-1970s, featured the first pairing of the long-running wpvi anchor team of jim gardner and dave thomas (now known as dave roberts), with danny neaverth frequently filling in for thomas. prior to 1983, the station adhered to the national association of broadcasters's seal of good practice. the station's morning news program, the first in western new york, debuted in 1989. "good morning western new york" (the program's title from 1989 to 2000 and from september 2009 to september 2010) initially started at 6:00 a.m., before moving up to 5:30 a.m. in 1996 and 5:00 a.m. by 2000; as of august 2016, it currently starts at 4:30 a.m. between 2000 and september 1, 2003 and from october 27, 2008 to 2009, the morning show was known as "eyewitness news this morning" and from september 2, 2003 to october 24, 2008 was known as "7 news this morning" (wkbw-tv's morning show predated by seven years the next competitor, wivb-tv, which did not debut its morning newscast, "wake up!" until 1994. wgrz-tv followed suit with "daybreak" in 1996).
