Newscasts
Concurrently with its 1995 sign-on, WRAZ began airing a nightly prime time newscast at 10, produced by WRAL through a news share agreement. This half-hour show was originally a repurposed WRAL newscast and competed with WLFL's longer-established hour-long broadcast also seen every night. That station already had a firmly established operation in the market by this time and it remained strong in the ratings with a popular on-air team. After the affiliation switch on August 1, 1998, WRAZ's newscast became known as ''Fox 50 Ten O'Clock News''. On January 28, 2001, WRAL became the first Triangle station to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in
high definition.
However, the shows on WRAZ were not initially included in the change. When the evening newscast was rebranded as ''WRAL News at 10 on Fox 50'' a few years later, the program was finally upgraded to HD. On August 16, 2004, WLFL's news department was downsized and converted into Sinclair's controversial ''News Central'' operation. A further reduction occurred at that station in September 2005, when its broadcast was cut down to thirty minutes in an attempt to boost its now anemic ratings against WRAZ. On June 26, 2006, after shuttering its in-house operation, WLFL entered into a news share agreement with
