On February 18, 2009, WNAC launched an hour-long lifestyle and entertainment magazine-type program called "The Rhode Show" that aired weekday mornings at 8:00 am. A new secondary set for the show was built with a fully functional kitchen. The show was previously hosted by the weekday morning news anchor teams (Vince DeMentri and Elizabeth Hopkins from February 2009 to March 2010, Patrick Little and Hopkins from March 2010 to November 2010, and Little and Danielle North from November 2010 to December 2011). A third host for a period of one year was found annually through open audition in a contest titled "The Rhode Show Search for a Star". In 2008, Boston-area radio deejay Shawn Tempesta won the contest out of over 140 people. In 2009, Cranston comedian Ben Hague beat out over 100 other hopefuls. Bridgewater State University graduate Michaela Johnson of East Providence won the honor in 2010. During the week, "The Rhode Show" was streamed live on WNAC's website. The main channel re-aired the show weekday afternoons at 1:00 pm with WNAC-DT2 (MyRITV) doing the same at 4:00 pm.
