simulcasting some of its newscasts on WLBZ-TV prepared with a statewide view. Originally, this was limited to morning, noon and weekend newscasts. However, in 2000, WLBZ cut its separate news production to two newscasts, weeknights at 5 and 6; all other newscasts on both stations originate from Portland. WLBZ ceased producing separate local newscasts altogether on October 8, 2015; all newscasts on both stations now come from the WCSH studios. As mentioned, these statewide programs tend to take on a regional feel with coverage from Portland, Bangor, or wherever news occurs around the state. WLBZ still produces its own weather segment from Bangor on weeknights with meteorologist Steve McKay. On August 9, 2010, there was an expansion of the statewide weekday morning show to 4:30 with the new segment being called News Center Early Morning Report. WCSH and WLBZ have branded their news operations as NEWS CENTER since the 1970s, even before consolidating. Additionally, both stations featured Frank Gari's "Good News" music package from 1986 until October 22, 2008, when it was dropped (except during winter weather "Storm Center" coverage, as well as some station promos) in favor of standardized music (composed by Rampage Music New York, Inc.) and graphics seen on other Gannett stations. From 2013 to 2018, WCSH and WLBZ utilized Gari Media Group's "This is Home" news music package. In 2018 WCSH, WLBZ and other Tegna stations switched to the "C Clarity" news music package from French sonic branding company Sixième Son. After then-WB affiliate WPXT shut down its news department in fall 2002, WCSH and WLBZ entered into a news share agreement with that station, resulting in a nightly prime time newscast. Originally called News Center at 10 on Maine's WB 51, it was seen every night for thirty minutes. On weeknights, news and sports segments originated from WCSH's facilities while WLBZ produced the weather segment from its studios. Weekend broadcasts were aired entirely from Portland. News Center at 10 was formatted in a similar manner to the statewide newscasts, albeit with more of a Portland focus (as WPXT serves Portland but not Bangor). In September 2006, the production became known as News Center at 10 on The CW Portland after WPXT switched to The CW. WLBZ's role in the newscast was eliminated on November 6, 2008, when WCSH moved the prime time broadcast to its "News Center Weather Plus" feed and entirely reoriented the newscast
