News programming on Channel 43 expanded on January 16, 2006, with the addition of the "Fox 43 Morning News", an hour-long weekday morning newscast at 7:00 a.m.; the newscast, which was formatted to feature updated traffic and weather segments in 10-minute intervals, gradually expanded within the next decade: the "Morning News" added two additional hours (expanding it to run from 5:00 to 8:00 a.m.) by September 2007 and expanded to include an 8:00 a.m. hour in September 2008. On February 13, 2013, WPMT expanded the weekday morning newscast to five hours (moving its start time one hour early to 4:00 a.m.), becoming the first and only station in the market, and the fifth Tribune-owned station to begin its morning newscast at 4:00 a.m. (WGAL and WHTM start their morning newscasts at 4:30, while WHP's continues to start at 5:00 a.m.) The weekday morning show later expanded to six hours (with the addition of a 9:00 a.m. block) on September 17, 2018.
