early 2017. On February 12, 2015, WKBN-TV launched a revolutionary high-tech news set. The set utilizes Virtual and Augmented Reality elements, computer-generated designs that are layered on real scenic elements. Pioneering this new set, WKBN is one of the only local broadcast stations in the entire country to utilize this technology. Using state of the art technology, the new look is both dynamic and flexible, allowing the station an unlimited number of options for continuous design enhancements. In 2017, WKBN-TV sold its spectrum for $34 million as part of the FCC's spectrum reallocation program and will move its broadcasting to sister station WYTV's frequency. WKBN-TV moved to WYTV's frequency on April 23, 2018. In order to make room for WKBN-TV, Ion Television moved from 27.3 to WYFX's 19.3 while Bounce TV moved from 33.3 to WYFX 19.4. Programming Syndicated programming Syndicated programming on this station includes Jeopardy!, Wheel of Fortune, and Tamron Hall among others. The first two shows are distributed by CBS Media Ventures. (Before 2010, both Jeopardy! and Wheel aired on WYTV from the beginning.) The station is also the longtime home of Mr. Food segments in its newscasts, which became "Mr. Food's Test Kitchen" after Art Ginsburg's death in 2012; Ginsburg would occasionally appear at the station in-person as Mr. Food whenever he would do promotional work in the Mahoning Valley. News operation WKBN presently broadcasts 31 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 5½ hours each weekday, two hours on Saturdays and 1½ hours on Sundays). WKBN established a weekday morning program in 1992. On January 23, 2006, WYFX's First News at 10 on Fox 17/62 (produced by WKBN) became the area's only hour-long prime time broadcast on weeknights while remaining thirty minutes on weekends. After a rebranding occurred in 2008, the title changed to First News on Fox. For a period, WYFX's broadcast competed with another newscast seen at the same time on MyNetwork affiliate WYTV-DT2 that was produced by its parent ABC station. There is also a two-hour weekday morning show seen on WYFX while WKBN broadcasts CBS Mornings. Known as First News This Morning on Fox, the show is essentially an extension of the CBS affiliate's show offering a local alternative. In December 2007, the news departments of WKBN and WYTV physically merged. As a result, over forty personnel at WYTV and six at WKBN were laid-off. Under the shared services agreement,
