Another addition to local newscasts on WQRF occurred January 14, 2008, when WTVO launched "Fox 39 Evening News at 6:30". This broadcast was seen weeknights and aired against the national broadcasts on the area's big three affiliates. Eventually, WQRF expanded "Fox 39 News at 9" to a seven night operation and lengthened the weeknight version to a full hour. This station would eventually drop the 6:30 show for an unknown reason. WQRF's weeknight prime time newscast at 9 maintains a separate news anchor but features the same meteorologist and sports anchor as WTVO.
