Most of the programs not shown on WKRC were widely preempted by many affiliates. Also, most every program not shown on WKRC-TV was aired on the ABC station in nearby Dayton, <a href="/wiki/WKEF" title="WKEF">WKEF</a> until 1980 and <a href="/wiki/WDTN" title="WDTN">WDTN</a> after 1980.

Locally, WKRC aired news, talk shows, movies, and a few off-network sitcoms at some points. Beginning in 1992, WKRC-TV began preempting portions of ABC's <a href="/wiki/Saturday_morning_cartoon" class="mw-redirect" title="Saturday morning cartoon">Saturday morning cartoons</a> in favor of a local Saturday morning newscast.

WKRC did not clear that program as late as 1958, but by 1960–1961 (its last initial season as a CBS affiliate) it telecast the program at 10 a.m. When ABC picked the program up in 1975, it originally carried the ABC run at 11 a.m. By fall 1976 the show was airing on WKRC at 10:30 a.m., and by May 1981 it was on at 9 a.m. WKRC had an unusual broadcast of the 90-minute ABC premiere. It aired the first hour from 3 to 4 p.m. on December 1. The final 30 minutes was telecast December 2 at 11 a.m., where all subsequent episodes aired on a one-day delay.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="News_operation">News operation</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=WKRC-TV&action=edit&section=11" title="Edit section: News operation"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/22/Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG/225px-Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG" decoding="async" width="225" height="208" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/22/Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG/338px-Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/22/Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG/450px-Chiquita_Center_weather_beacon.JPG 2x" data-file-width="759" data-file-height="700" /></a><figcaption>The Weather Beacon atop the Chiquita Center indicating "no change in sight"</figcaption></figure> <p>WKRC currently broadcasts <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">.mw-parser-output .frac{white-space:nowrap}.mw-parser-output .frac .num,.mw-parser-output .frac .den{font-size:80%;line-height:0;vertical-align:super}.mw-parser-output .frac .den{vertical-align:sub}.mw-parser-output .sr-only{border:0;clip:rect(0,0,0,0);clip-path:polygon(0px 0px,0px 0px,0px 0px);height:1px;margin:-1px;overflow:hidden;padding:0;position:absolute;width:1px}</style><span class="frac">41<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with seven hours each weekday, four hours on Saturdays and <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">2<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> hours on Sundays); it also produces an additional <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">13<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> hours of newscasts weekly (with <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1154941027"><span class="frac">2<span class="sr-only">+</span><span class="num">1</span>⁄<span class="den">2</span></span> hours each weekday and a half-hour each on Saturdays and Sundays) for WSTR.

However, since the May 2010 Nielsen ratings period, WKRC has dominated its competition in all newscast timeslots, with WCPO slipping to second. This dominance in the Cincinnati local news race continued as of the May 2012 sweeps period. At one point, all three of Cincinnati's "Big Three" network affiliates were locally owned. WLWT began falling behind in the ratings after becoming the first of the three to be sold to outside interests.
