never broadcast any local news programming; it had been the only entertainment-based commercial television station in the Shreveport–Texarkana market to have never regularly air newscasts produced specifically for the station. However, KSHV (through the weather production provider's agreement with sister station KMSS) carried daily local weather inserts produced by WeatherVision, a company formed by meteorologist Edward St. Pe to provide weather forecasts for stations without a news department, from 1994 until 2006. On April 11, 2016, KTAL-TV began producing a half-hour newscast at 5:30 p.m. each weeknight for KSHV, under the title Texarkana First News at 5:30. The program primarily focuses on local news stories centered on the Texarkana, Arkansas–Texas metropolitan area (the latter being sister station KTAL's city of license), along with national and international headlines. (The program is currently the only 5:30 p.m. newscast produced for a Nexstar-owned-or-operated station in the Central and Mountain Time Zones that is not carried on a Fox affiliate operated by the group.)
