The three stations share studios on Sunset Boulevard in Youngstown's Pleasant Grove neighborhood, where WKBN-TV's transmitter is also located.

However, WKBN-TV does retain a news and weather sharing partnership with iHeartMedia, the current owners of its former radio sisters.

The digital broadcast features CBS programming in high definition (when available) and also carries a simulcast of low-powered sister station WYFX-LP.

WKBN's powerful signal provides viewers in the eastern half of the Cleveland DMA an alternative to WJW (Fox) and WOIO (CBS) which broadcast on channels 8 and 10, respectively.

[14] Despite the conditions, WKBN-TV continues to operate WYTV, including after Nexstar acquired Media General in early 2017.

Using state of the art technology, the new look is both dynamic and flexible, allowing the station an unlimited number of options for continuous design enhancements.

On January 23, 2006, WYFX's First News at 10 on Fox 17/62 (produced by WKBN) became the area's only hour-long prime time broadcast on weeknights while remaining thirty minutes on weekends.

For a period, WYFX's broadcast competed with another newscast seen at the same time on MyNetwork affiliate WYTV-DT2 that was produced by its parent ABC station.

[18] Under the shared services agreement, this station began producing newscasts on the ABC affiliate from a secondary set at the Sunset Boulevard studios.

A previous plan calling for WYTV to build satellite streetside studios in Downtown Youngstown were abandoned due to the consolidation.

The current operational status of its Doppler weather radar based at the old facility on Shady Run Road is unknown.

[19] To differentiate the CBS and ABC affiliates from each other and maintain a separate identity, the stations adopted individual graphic and music packages.

Due to the duopoly, WKBN and WYTV maintain separate primary anchors for news, weather, and sports during the week but share most general assignment reporters and video footage.
