LOUIS, MO \u2013 July 24, 2026 \u2013 KMOV, Gray Media\u2019s CBS affiliate in St. Louis, announced today that it will add ABC network programming to its broadcast channel lineup starting September 1, 2026. This major expansion will bring a significant increase in local news coverage to St. Louis viewers, filling a critical gap in the market where the current ABC affiliate does not offer local news.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">With this addition, KMOV will leverage its award-winning \u201cFirst Alert 4\u201d news team to deliver dedicated local newscasts, First Alert Weather, and community coverage alongside ABC\u2019s popular network programming. This move ensures that St. Louis viewers will finally have access to high-quality, local journalism during ABC dayparts and adjacent programming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThis is a landmark moment for St. Louis viewers and a testament to our commitment to local journalism,\u201d said KMOV Vice President and General Manager JD Sosnoff. \u201cBy bringing ABC programming to KMOV, we are not only expanding entertainment options but, more importantly, delivering vital local news and public service to a community that has been underserved in this area. KMOV\u2019s award-winning news team is uniquely positioned to provide the high-quality, local coverage that St. Louis families deserve.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">The expansion will allow KMOV to produce additional hours of local news specifically tailored for the ABC audience, covering local stories, investigative reports, and real-time weather.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Viewers will be able to access the new ABC programming and expanded local newscasts over-the-air on channel 32.1 as well as through local cable, satellite, and streaming providers. A full programming schedule and launch details will be released in the coming weeks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">For more information and updates, visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firstalert4.com\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" title=\"https:\/\/www.firstalert4.com\">www.KMOV.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 KMOV.
