affairs shows focused mostly on Long Island issues, aside from weather and sports coverage, which served most of the New York City market. On March 15, 2012, it was announced that the station would be suspending its news operations at the end of the month; the last 11 p.m. newscast on the station aired on March 29, 2012, and was subsequently replaced with Entertainment Tonight. The first locally produced program on WLNY under CBS ownership debuted in mid-April 2012: a revamped public affairs show, Exit 10/55, which airs in the same timeslot as tv10/55 Focus. WLNY resumed regular newscasts on July 2, 2012, with a two-hour morning program, Live from the Couch (which competed against the longer-established morning newscasts on WPIX and Fox-owned WNYW (channel 5); and an hour-long newscast at 9 p.m. Both programs are based out of WCBS-TV's West 57th Street studios in Manhattan. In July 2014, WLNY made the decision to expand its hour long 9 p.m. newscast to weekends, with WCBS' weekend evening staff (Cindy Hsu, Elise Finch, and Steve Overmeyer). The first weekend 9 p.m. newscast aired on July 12, 2014. Additional newscasts are likely to be added in the future. WLNY has received some criticism from the Long Island Fair Media Council accusing the station of abandoning its focus on Long Island. CBS management blamed the lack of coverage on work being done on WLNY's former full-time facility in Melville. The facility, which was converted into a news bureau set up to cover Long Island news stories, was completed in July 2012. On May 23, 2014, WLNY made the decision to cancel Live from the Couch. Although ratings for the newscast are not available, poor ratings were the likely cause for the cancellation. On April 8, 2019, the newscast was replaced by CBSN New York on WLNY, a rebroadcast of a prime time newscast produced by WCBS' local version of CBSN. The newscast was renamed yet again in October 2021 as CBS2 News at 9, and again in July 2022 as CBS News New York Now, as part of a rebrand across CBS O&O duopolies.
