On February 12, 2010, after the Opening Ceremonies of the Winter Olympics, WXII began broadcasting its local newscasts in 16:9 widescreen standard definition, becoming the third station to do so after WGHP and WFMY.
On August 13, 2012, WXII debuted a half-hour 10 p.m. newscast on its Me-TV-affiliated subchannel on digital channel 12.2, to compete with the longer-established hour-long 10 p.m. newscast on Fox affiliate WGHP [REF].
