CW39 also produced a morning segment produced program “Morning Dose,” which officially ended in late August 2020.
On August 21, 2020, CW39 became the proud home of CW39 NO WAIT WEATHER + TRAFFIC, a locally produced 4-hour all traffic and weather show, with headlines, along with syndicated hits such as black-ish, The Goldbergs, Two and a Half Men, and Maury.
