News operation
WXIN broadcasts a total of 55 hours of local news per week (with nine hours on weekdays, and five hours each on weekends), giving the station more hours of local news than any other station in the Indianapolis market and any station (and Fox affiliate) in the state of Indiana.In 1984, until WPDS became WXIN, Channel 59 carried a short-lived hour-long prime time newscast called 59 Headline News anchored by Ken Owen, who later worked for CBS affiliate WISH-TV (channel 8) and ABC affiliate WRTV (channel 6). Then in 1991, WXIN debuted its 10 o'clock newscast, the second incarnation for the station. The station launched a morning newscast in 1999. The weeknight primetime newscast expanded from 35 to 60 minutes on April 17, 2006 and the morning newscast expanded from three to four hours on January 2, 2008. On September 15, 2008, the weekday half-hour 11 a.m. newscast FOX 59 Midday News debuted. In late 2002, WXIN replaced WRTV

On September 21, 2009, WXIN expanded its morning news from four to 4½ hours, airing from 4:30-9 a.m. (since then, the morning newscast was expanded to 4:30-10 a.m. and the 11 a.m. newscast was dropped as of January 4, 2010). The station also launched an hour-long 4 p.m. newscast on that date, titled FOX 59 News: First @ 4. Until that time period, WXIN was among the Tribune-owned Fox affiliates that had not yet increased their news output, even though the network encouraged its affiliates and stations to do so for the past decade. On November 1, 2009, WXIN became the fourth television station in the Indianapolis market (and the sixth station in Indiana) to broadcast its newscasts in High Definition. As part of the change, WXIN overhauled its on-air look, adopting the Fox News Channel-style logo and Fox O&O graphics (WXIN uses the HD version of the Fox O&O graphics) that are also used by the Fox owned-and-operated stations, WXIN's Fox-affiliated sister stations owned by Tribune, and select other Fox stations.
