This isn't an individual show, but a marking used by a huge variety of completely unrelated news programs, none of which has standalone notability. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • ^{(Otters want attention)} 02:22, 8 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's not like the much more famous, storied "Action News" or "Eyewitness News" formats, which DO have more than a leg to stand on. I can now see why NewsChannel and 24 Hour News Source (an article I created, admittedly) have trouble staying on WP. But at the same time something should be said for the common-ness of the name.

Delete. This is basically a list of television stations which all use, or have used, this generic-sounding name for their newscast. The fact that it's a generic-sounding name which seems to have been adopted by many stations independently from each other leads me to believe that this isn't an encyclopedic topic. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:52, 15 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I can find no documentation in reliable sources discussing "NewsCenter" as a news format. Compare this to Action News and Eyewitness news formats which do get such treatment (e.g. [1]). -- Whpq (talk) 16:33, 17 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
