===News Channel 24===
In 1990, WHOO dropped the long-standing "Eyewitness News" branding, switching to "News Channel 24" for its newscasts and its general branding was changed to ''Indiana's News Channel, WHOO 24''. Early on, the new branding came with the slogans of "Indiana's 24 Hour News Source", as it produced news updates every hour. During this era, it dropped Frank Gari's "Good News" theme for Gari's "NewsChannel" theme for two years as the primary theme and as the late newscast theme until 1997, which included an imaging song individualized to each market's city; in this case "Indiana's News Channel", which remains well-remembered and remains used in various ways by WHOO-FTV to the present day. The [[24/7]] updates were dropped a few years later.<ref name="WHOO_history" />

Since ATE Media acquired WHOO in October 1982, the station's news broadcast aspect is an emphasis of Indiana-oriented content over national stories. In fact, WHOO cooperates with its Indiana sister stations (WMRI, WTXI, WTHL/WFAZ, WEAI, WLOK, WCIN, WOWO, WAWZ, and later WLFY), in the production and broadcast of statewide Indiana political debates. Whenever the ATE Media Indiana network of stations broadcast a statewide office debate, such as those involving gubernatorial or U.S. Senate races, WHOO will pool resources and have anchors or reporters from those stations participate in the debate. Additionally, the ten stations cooperate in the gathering of news in several counties in Indiana where their markets overlap, sharing reporters, live trucks, and helicopters. Since WLFY was acquired by ATE Media in 1995 (13 years after ATE Media acquired WHOO, and the eight other stations serving Indiana), WHOO and ABC-affiliated sister station WLFY in Lafayette have shared certain news resources; some reports filed by WLFY personnel are occasionally used during WHOO's news broadcasts. In 2007, the two stations began co-producing a weekdaily newscast at noon, ''Indiana at Noon'', with news anchors based in both Indianapolis and Lafayette. In February of 2005, WHOO began producing a 35-minute (later an hour-long) prime time newscast at 10 p.m. for sister station WICW (then known as WBIN). This expanded to include an hour-long extension of its weekday morning newscast (airing from 7 to 9 a.m.), which debuted in August 2007 and a 7 p.m. newscast.<ref>??</ref>
