ABC news updates are provided hourly and local news runs at noon, 5 and 6 pm. The local news is produced by sister station WMIC, in Sandusky, which also has a country music format, but only in the mornings and at night (the station is news/talk the remainder of the time it is on the air, having to sign off at local sunset).
