they were on the street, broadcasting from the station's mobile truck instead of the studio, needed to be given. The news was first reported by the Twitter and Facebook accounts of WDIV's news staff; WJBK, WXYZ-TV and WMYD (channel 20) reported on the situation while during the lockout, before the WDIV mobile truck could return to the studios from its assignments. A sweater and some empty soda cans were later found in the briefcase which was left by a homeless man that had followed a WDIV employee in for warmth and coffee; the man was brought to Detroit Receiving Hospital for observation the next day. The Detroit Police Department and Post-Newsweek's management said that no charges would be filed, calling it "just a big misunderstanding". Programming Syndicated programming Syndicated programs carried on WDIV-TV include Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, The Jennifer Hudson Show, Rachael Ray and Inside Edition. WDIV-TV is one of the few television stations in the United States to have aired Wheel and Jeopardy! from the beginning of their respective syndication runs in 1983 and 1984. WDIV-TV used this as leverage for its decision to pull the programs from the schedule of CBC owned-and-operated station CBET-DT in Windsor during the 2011–12 season, a year before the CBC decided to cancel their broadcasts of the shows entirely.

During the 1978–79 season, it aired This Morning, a locally based talk show hosted by Cathie Mann, in place of the game shows Card Sharks and All Star Secrets, while for many years, NBC's 12:30 p.m. programming was preempted in favor of a newscast. During the 1983–84 season, the newscast was expanded to an hour, preempting NBC's noon programming (most notably Super Password). That season, WDIV also preempted the 1983 revival of Dream House in favor of the much more popular syndicated game show Tic-Tac-Dough. From its debut until September 9, 2022, WDIV has also delayed the fourth hour of Today (which nationally airs at
