What's New in the Latest Version 7.2.1

Last updated on Oct 26, 2023
Old Versions
Our version 7.0 mobile app has a brand new look and feel! You'll still get all the up-to-the-minute breaking news, accurate weather, and in-depth investigations from the station you know and trust, but in a new package.

We've spent months talking with readers and viewers like you to understand what's most important. This new mobile app is a direct result of your feedback, so thank you! Our new design brings a bold, fresh focus to the biggest news of the day.

YOUR PREFERENCE FOR NEWS UPDATES

Readers told us that being able to choose how they read the news is a top priority.

A new menu at the top of the Home screen gives you more control over how you read the news in our app.

Choose "Top News" to read news stories curated by our local news team as the most important news of the day or choose "Most Recent" to read news stories published most recently.

24/7 LIVE STREAMING VIDEO

In the new "Watch" tab, our news is streaming any time you want to watch.

Whether it's our 24/7 streaming channel, or video on demand clips, you're in control over what you want to watch, and when you want to watch it.

DARK MODE

Making sure the app reflects your preference on how you use your device was also important to you, whether your device is in Light Mode or Dark Mode. Our new app honors that system preference and gives you the choice to use the app in Light Mode or Dark Mode.
