from 21½ hours to six hours in 2011, KTVL did air the telethon as usual. On February 10, 2012, MDA announced that the 2012 edition would be cut to three hours in length airing during prime time on Sunday, September 2, 2012. The 2012 edition, renamed the MDA Show of Strength (moving away from its heritage as a telethon), effectively ended KTVL's 41 years of telethon coverage. The special was since picked up by ABC for two years in 2013 and 2014, before being canceled altogether by MDA in early 2015. After 10 On June 3, 2006, KTVL launched a new locally produced late night program for young adults called After 10, hosted by Curtis Bartlett and Lindsey Matherly, every Saturday night at 11:30 p.m. It was dubbed as the only locally produced show that delivers news and information on the local music scene, video games, movie releases (in theaters and on video), graphic novels, music videos, viral videos from the internet, and websites. After 10 was KTVL's attempt to compete against NBC's Saturday Night Live by producing a program for its target audience themselves, instead on relying on syndication. After 10 was being retooled and was expected to be relaunched in the third quarter of 2007, but it never returned to the air. After various syndicated programs and infomercials aired in the 11:30 p.m. slot, the slot became the home of the weekly Ring of Honor Wrestling show in April 2012 upon the acquisition of the station by Sinclair, which owned the RoH circuit until 2022. News operation KTVL broadcasts 22 hours of locally production news each week. It was known as NewsCenter 10 in the late 1970s back when they were an NBC affiliate. The name NewsCenter was used by many NBC-owned and/or affiliated stations to identify their newscasts. After KTVL switched to CBS, the name of the newscast was changed to Channel 10 News. The news department featured well-known news personalities such as Terry Miller, Hank Henry, George Warren, Leon Hunsaker (also previously of KOBI and theDove), Marvin Rhodes, Pete Belcastro, Fred Inglis (formerly of KTVU) and, most notably, Ann Curry (who went on to become host of NBC's Today Show in 2011). The current news director is Chad Hypes. The newscasts are currently anchored by Carmine Gemei at 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chief meteorologist is former KDRV meteorologist Milt Radford. Tyler Myerly
