The first newscast as WYMT was broadcast on the evening of October 21, 1985. Currently during the week, WYMT produces separate morning, 4, 5:30, 6, and 11 o'clock newscasts on weekdays. It simulcasts WKYT's weekday noon (though only the first half hour) and 5 p.m. broadcasts. WYMT also produces their own morning, 6 and 11 p.m. newscast on the weekends. Although WKYT has been airing newscasts in high definition since April 11, 2007, WYMT simulcast them in standard definition. In addition to its main studios, WYMT operates one news bureau in downtown Pikeville. There are additional WKYT reporters seen on this station.
