In January 2004, the Hartford CBS affiliate, WFSB, began operating a CBS station, WSHM, aimed at the Springfield-Northampton, Massachusetts market. Currently, the station airs much of the same programming as WFSB, with the exception of the Hartford station's newscasts. Pioneer Valley weather forecasts can be seen at 6 and 11 p.m. daily. Recently, WSHM announced plans to begin its own newscasts, broadcast out of downtown Springfield. Doug Lezette, assistant news director at WRGB in Albany, New York, was hired as the station's news director. Some normal newscasts slots may remain vacant and for the meantime will continue to have syndicated programming.
