WTVF also owns and operates NewsChannel5+, a spinoff cable channel, viewable on Channel 50 on most of Middle Tennessee's cable systems. NewsChannel5+ airs replays of the mother station's news broadcasts, as well as original and exclusive call-in and interview shows. NC5+ also goes live during severe weather, and will sometimes air local news live if CBS programming pre-empts WTVF's regular local news time slot, such as during the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament.
