Fundamentally, the newscast schedules on Fox stations vary significantly from station to station compared to affiliates of ABC, CBS and NBC, which typically carry a minimum of 3½ hours of news programming daily in morning, late afternoon and late evening dayparts.

S. media market ), which has broadcast a 10 p. m. newscast that is produced by Cox Media-owned NBC affiliate WPXI since the 2006 shutdown of WPGH's in-house news department by owner Sinclair Broadcast Group after the company's News Central division folded.
