With the March 2015 announcement that WFXR and WWCW would migrate their operations into new studio facilities near Hollins, Nexstar also announced that WFXR would assume production responsibilities for its newscasts and establish an in-house news department for the station, resulting in the eventual termination of its news share agreement with WSLS after 19 years. On September 17, 2015, WFXR announced that the news department would launch on October 1, with the expansion of its weekday morning news program—which was retitled "Good Day Virginia"—from two hours to four (with the premiere of an additional two-hour broadcast from 5:00 to 7:00 a.m., which replaced religious programming in that time period) and the weekend editions of its 10:00 p.m. newscast—retitled "WFXR News First at 10"—to one hour, which both continue to be produced in high definition with the start of in-house news operations. Subsequently in November, the station will debut a half-hour local sports highlight program on Friday nights, that will follow the 10:00 p.m. newscast.
