On April 21, 2007, WDRB became the first Louisville station to televise the Kentucky Derby Festival's all-day "Thunder Over Louisville" air and fireworks show in high definition – at the time, one of the largest technical undertakings ever attempted by an American television station.
Beyond weather warnings denoted with WDRB's news logo on the bottom of the screen, WMYO only carries WDRB newscasts in pre-emption situations such as primetime Fox Sports broadcasts such as NASCAR races and MLB and NFL games.
