After running only news updates throughout the broadcast day since its sign-on, WUAB launched an in-house news department on January 4, 1988, with the premiere of The Ten O'Clock News, the first prime time newscast attempted in the Cleveland market since WKBF-TV's attempt failed in 1970. Though marred by technical problems, the newscast doubled WUAB's ratings in the 10:00 p.m. timeslot compared to the previous week.
Weekend editions of The Ten O'Clock News were added in September 1989, and the 15-minute sports segments featured at the tail end of the newscast (originally anchored primarily by former WEWS-TV sportscaster Gib Shanley) were restructured as a standalone sports wrap-up show (titled Sports Extra) in September 1993.

WUAB introduced new on-air graphics and music for its newscasts on February 5, 1995, coinciding with the expansion of its news department ― under the banner Cleveland Television News — to produce newscasts for sister station WOIO, which had switched from Fox to CBS in December 1994. Both stations began operating from a combined facility at Reserve Square; while WOIO's newscasts originated from the newsroom with anchors walking to reporters in a style heavily inspired by CITY-TV's CityPulse broadcasts, WUAB continued to originate its newscasts from a traditional set.

In May 2003, WUAB's newscasts permanently shifted to using sister station WOIO's news branding, under the latter's newly established 19 Action News brand, to reflect the shift of newscast production on both stations under the auspices of its parent station.
