As WXXC shifted its programming philosophy, it was eventually determined that the station should be split up into two separate entities. The internet news discussion site would be known as INNewsCenter (which as since closed in 2011 and reopened in 2014), while the over-the-air Fort Wayne station would remain a commercial independent station that also focused on general entertainment, as well as other movies and local interest programs. As a result of the separation of channel 47 from the internet feed, the internet version of INNCD became available in the Fort Wayne market for the first time. | As WXXC shifted its programming philosophy, it was eventually determined that the station should be split up into two separate entities.

Today, WXXC carries classic and more recent off-network syndicated programming and movies with additional newscasts and an expanded inventory of syndicated [[wikipedia:talk show|talk shows]] and sitcoms, including some shows moved from sister station WTOR on channel 47's schedule. The relaunched station contains significantly more talk shows (such as ''Jerry Springer'' and ''Maury''), court shows (such as ''Judge Judy'', ''Judge Joe Brown'', ''Eye for an Eye'', ''The People{{'}}s Court'' ) and older, less expensive programming than its predecessor WRDS. | Today, WXXC carries classic and more recent off-network syndicated programming and movies with additional newscasts and an expanded inventory of syndicated [[wikipedia:talk show|talk shows]] and sitcoms, including some shows moved from sister station WTOR on channel 47's schedule.

− | In 2015, WTOR/WXXC moved its Southern newsroom to downtown Huntington. The office tower (within which WTOR's south bureau newsroom and the duopoly's advertising sales offices occupy the top floor) was renamed NoSirGifts Tower. The NoSirGifts Tower in Huntingon also serves as a secondary facility at the studios of Contemporary Christian radio station WLAB (88.3 FM); most of WTOR/WXXC's newscasts are produced out of the Huntington University studio, which underwent renovations to house production facilities. This resulted from a multi-year agreement with WLAB's owner Star Educational Media Network that was signed in April 2014, in which WTOR/WXXC also provides news content for WLAB with some staff appearing on both stations. The station's primary studios and other technical and business operations remain in Fort Wayne. | + | In 2015, WTOR/WXXC moved its Southern newsroom to downtown Huntington.
