Information About

News Central




''News Central'' was a Primetime newscast on Sinclair television stations in the United States , mixing locally produced news with nationally produced news and an opinion segment from Sinclair's Hunt Valley, Maryland studios. News Central ended all newscasts effective March 31 , 2006 , which, after that date, its stations either did their newscasts entirely on their own, outsourced their newscast to a larger station in the market, or cancelled their newscasts entirely. Others, like WSMH , teamed up with non-affiliate stations in their market to either simulcast other stations' newscasts, or produce a news program in conjunction of the two stations. WYZZ and WUHF went into LMAs with other stations in their markets.

''News Central'' still produces a one-minute national news brief for Sinclair stations, called ''Washington Newsroom'', and formerly produced their nightly The Point commentary until it ended after the November 30 , 2006 edition. It also provides weather updates and forecasts during national morning news programs on select Sinclair stations that are void of local weather staff, including WTWC in Tallahassee, Florida , and WXLV in Greensboro, North Carolina . The segments feature weather anchor Tony Pagnotti.
