the SSA for WUPW to rival broadcaster Tegna Inc., along with sister station in Odessa, Texas, KWES-TV for $105 million. The deal was completed on January 2, 2019. On July 14, 2021, Gray announced it would sell WJRT-TV to Allen Media Group as part of its larger acquisition of the broadcasting assets of Meredith Corporation. As Gray elected to keep rival station WNEM-TV in the Flint market, the sale separated WJRT-TV from WTVG after 30 years as sister stations. Programming Syndicated programming As of fall 2022, WTVG's syndicated programming includes The Drew Barrymore Show, Rachael Ray, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Entertainment Tonight, and Inside Edition. The latter two serve as a lead in to ABC's prime time schedule. Ohio Lottery On July 1, 2011, WTVG began to broadcast the nightly Ohio Lottery drawings, and broadcast the game show Cash Explosion on Saturday evenings. WTVG took over broadcasting the lottery drawings and game show from rival station WTOL.
