In August 2007 after resuming operations independent of WTWC, WTXL debuted a new set from new studios in Midway, featuring the same design scheme as sister station WAAY-TV. At the same time, this outlet became the first television station in the market to upgrade local newscasts to high definition level. Corresponding with the launch of Bounce TV on WTXL-DT2, the market's only weeknight local newscast in early prime time was added to the subchannel's schedule. The show, known as "Bounce TV News at 7", could be seen for thirty minutes featuring a separate graphics package and music theme from the main channel's broadcasts. For an unknown reason, the show was dropped after its October 25, 2013 airing.
