On June 26, 2006, WTVD debuted a new primetime newscast for WB (now CW) affiliate WLFL (channel 22) entitled "Eyewitness News at 10 on WB 22". This happened after WLFL's owner, Sinclair Broadcast Group, ended the controversial "News Central" format on its stations and shut down WLFL's established in-house news department. This newscast runs directly against the WRAL-produced 10 p.m. newscast on WRAZ (channel 50). On September 17, concurrent with WLFL's affiliation switch to The CW, the newscast changed its name to "Eyewitness News at 10 on CW 22". On April 21, 2008, WTVD became the second television station in the Triangle behind WRAL and the eighth ABC-owned station to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. The primetime news on WLFL was included in the upgrade. WTVD debuted an hour-long 4 p.m. newscast on May 26, 2011 to fill the void left by "The Oprah Winfrey Show", whose long run in that time slot came to an end a day earlier.
