After KYOU-DT2 affiliated with NBC in January 2018, KYOU-TV did not carry any news simulcasts on or produce any unique newscasts for that channel, opting to air syndicated entertainment newsmagazines formerly unavailable in the market in most news timeslots. On July 16, 2018, the station premiered a half-hour 10:00 p.m. newscast – which also airs exclusively on weeknights – for KYOU-DT2, which places KYOU-TV's news operation in direct competition with KTVO as the program competes with that station's late newscast; Scheuer co-anchors the broadcast with newcomer Leah Kemple, who also serves as a multimedia journalist. (Scheuer will continue to solo anchor the 9:00 p.m. newscast on KYOU-TV's main channel.)
