Both KDNL and WXLV axed their newscasts in late 2001 in the throes of the post-9/11 recession. They were dragging through low ratings, and KDNL had some sort of transmitter failure in the spring of 2001 that led to audience loss and prompted the news to be axed. WXLV's news ended in January 2002. I don't think that decision would have been taken today, but at the time and with Sinclair being a much smaller broadcaster, things were different. That might not have been a bad idea with St. Louis, as that's a pretty stagnant market without a lot of growth potential.
