In December 2011, it was announced that on January 9, 2012, "The Rhode Show" would move to WPRI and would now begin at 9:00 a.m. Michaela Johnson and former WPRO-FM (92 PRO-FM) personality Will Gilbert became permanent hosts of the show and Mary Larsen was selected as the third host in the 2011 "Search for a Star" contest. MyRITV now re-airs the show at 2:00 p.m. on weekdays. In addition, "Eyewitness News This Morning on FOX Providence" was extended to fill the hour previously occupied by "The Rhode Show". The newscast now airs from 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. As a result of the 2012 World Series preempting late evening newscasts normally seen on the main WNAC channel, MyRITV began airing live newscasts featuring continuing coverage of Hurricane Sandy. This channel now regularly airs newscasts in the event they are preempted on the main channels. On January 13, 2014, WPRI announced that it would be expanding its early evening news by launching a 6:30 p.m. newscast on WNAC on January 27. Also in 2014, WNAC began simulcasting WPRI's weekday morning newscasts from 4:30 am to 7:00 am.
