For over 40 years starting in the early 1970s, Paul Anthony announced the familiar open: "NewsCenter 36, Northeast Indiana's leading news program," as well as rejoins and closings. Even through staff and branding announcing changes for the station in general, Anthony remained the constant voice of ''NewsCenter 36'' (1968-2003), ''NBC 36 News'' (2003), ''NBC 9 Eyewitness News'' (2003-2004), ''ABC 9 Eyewitness News'' (2005-2007), ''ABC 9 News'' (2007-2010), and ''NewsCenter 9'' (2010-),  His voice started to show signs of decaying in the mid-2000s, reaching a point to where Anthony's newly recorded opens in late January 2011 were pulled in less than a week. In February 2011, Anthony was replaced with veteran announcer Kris Erik Stevens, who had become WMRI's station announcer in 2006.

On February 28, 2005, shortly after ATE Media announced its purchase of channel 51, WMRI took over production of WECW's 10:00 p.m. newscast from WNDI, which had produced the program from its inception on March 16, 1996; this partnership expanded to include a two hour-long extension of WMRI's weekday morning newscast at 7:00 a.m., which debuted in 2007 as well as an hour-long newscast at 11:00 a.m. and  half-hour newscast at 7:00 p.m. WECW's 10 p.m. newscast, ''NewsCenter 9 at 10pm on Star 51'', respectively utilizes most of the same anchors as WMRI's weekday 5:30 p.m. and weekend evening newscasts, with a noticeable difference. Frank Davidson did not appear on the weeknight broadcasts. On September 15, 2014 the 10:00 p.m. newscast was expanded to a full hour-long broadcast, making WECW the fourth station in the Fort Wayne market (along with competitors WFTW's ''The News at 10:00 on Fort Wayne 6'' (that newscast has since moved to WGOM after switching to NBC and now known as ''The News at 10:00''), WINO/WMRN/WORT's ''Fox 38/58 News at 10:00'', and WXXC's ''INNCD 47 Action News at 10:00 PM''--the latter operated by sister station WTOR) to carry an hour-long newscast at 10PM. Only competitor WNDI-FDT2 carries a 1/2 hour long newscast, ''7 News at 10'' and has since been cancelled after WNDI went dark in 2015. Shortly after WECW became a MeTV O&O, WMRI added an hour-long 9:00 p.m. newscast titled ''NewsCenter 9 at 9pm on Star 51''. The newscast competes with the WTOR-produced ''INNCD 47 Action News at 9:00 PM.''

On January 5, 2015, sister station WHOO debuted a half-hour weekday noon newscast titled ''Indiana News Tonight with Karly Ryder'' (similar to ABC's ''World News Tonight''); the statewide newscast features news stories filed by reporters from all ten ATE Media-owned ABC stations serving Indiana as well as a sports segment produced by WLFY and WHOO, focusing on Indiana University and Purdue University athletics, called ''Hoosier Nation''. The ATE Media Indiana Network stations simulcast the program at 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time (3:30 p.m. Central) and utilize their own on-air weather staff to provide local weather inserts during the broadcast that target their specific viewing areas (the coverage areas of WOWO/Dayton, WCIN/Cincinnati, WAWZ/Chicago, and WLOK/Louisville inculde several counties in Indiana (two in WOWO's viewing area, three in WCIN's, five in WLOK's, and six in WAWZ's), though WOWO and WCIN primarily serve parts of western Ohio, WAWZ serves parts of northeast Illinois and WLOK also serves parts of northern Kentucky).<ref>ATE Media Launches Statewide Indiana Newscast.</ref>
