After WHP took over operations of WLYH in the fall of 1995, the former shut down WLYH's separate news department. The following year, in September 1996, a news share agreement was established between WLYH and WHP, resulting in WHP producing a primetime newscast at 10:00 p.m. for channel 15. The effort competed with WPMT, which also aired a primetime news broadcast in the 10:00 p.m. timeslot since that station (which, by then, had become a Fox affiliate) launched its current news department in September 1994. Due to low ratings and inconsistent viewership, the 10:00 p.m. newscast on WLYH was canceled in 2003.
