WGSR-LD has expanded its local coverage of the Reidsville-Martinsville-Danville area, and runs a three-hour news/talk program titled "Star News", which airs daily from 5 to 8 p.m. "Star News" has gained a reputation for tackling controversial subjects not approached by the region's full-power television stations, as well as giving extensive coverage to news stories in the Dan River Region. The station has come under fire for exposing several scandals, including crime, that have involved government officials and other public figures in the area.
