Newscasts[]
On September 3, 2014, KSCW launched a brand new 4 A.M. morning newscast and a 10 P.M. newscast (KSCW was at that time one of the odd men out as a CW affiliate with their prime-time newscasts being at 11 P.M rather than at 10 P.M). In May 2017, the 11 P.M. weekend newscast was discontinued, along with the weekday 10 P.M. newscast, due to low ratings. the weekend 11 P.M newscast was replaced with a 10 P.M. weekend newscast, while the 11 P.M. weekday newscast was moved to 11:30. On December 27, 2018, It was announced that KSCW would move to the Ocean View area of Paradise City by atleast March 15, 2019 after 12 years at their Downtown Studios. From January 31 to February 28; many of the recognizable set pieces started to disappear, and by the start of March the newscasts were done at the newsroom rather than their usual set. at the end of their final 11 P.M. newscast at their Downtown studio (March 14), anchors said "Goodbye and farewell Downtown." to their viewers. For the first newscast in their new studio, the morning news anchors said "Hello and welcome, Ocean View", as sort of a bookend to the former quote for the final newscast at the previous studio.
