lifestyle, entertainment and opinion segments, interspersed with half-hourly local news, weather and traffic inserts presented by a solo anchor from KIAH's Houston studios, with national content initially pre-produced at Tribune's Chicago headquarters. By the fall of 2011, production of Eye Openers national segments relocated from Chicago to the studios of KIAH sister station and fellow CW affiliate KDAF in Dallas, which began airing Eye Opener on October 31 of that year, along with WPHL-TV in Philadelphia, WSFL-TV in Miami and KRCW-TV in Portland, Oregon (which, unlike KDAF and KIAH, do not produce their own news programming). Eye Opener ended its run on June 21, 2017, and was replaced with Morning Dose on June 29. On September 6, 2018, Tribune announced that Morning Dose and NewsFix would be cancelled effective September 14, and that KIAH would begin producing a local three-hour morning newscast titled Houston Morning Dose which was launched on October 22. 9 p.m. newscast from KTRK and traffic and weather-focused morning show A 9 p.m. newscast returned to KIAH on May 11, 2020, with the introduction of a nightly newscast entitled ABC 13 Eyewitness News at 9 p.m. on CW 39. The show utilizes the news staff and studio of ABC-owned KTRK-TV (channel 13); the agreement is the second between Nexstar and an ABC-owned station, after an existing partnership between WPHL-TV and WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. On August 20, 2020, KIAH rebranded its morning newscast as No Wait Weather + Traffic, ending Morning Dose.
