San Antonio‑area residents will have another chance to stay informed after KSAT unveiled its newest weekday program, The Rundown. The half‑hour newscast will air live at 1 p.m. on KSAT television, on the station’s website and on the free KSAT+ streaming app. A repeat broadcast will follow at 5:30 p.m., after the existing KSAT News at Noon and KSAT News at 5 p.m.
Why the extra hour matters
KSAT says the addition reflects the importance of daily local journalism for the community. By extending its news lineup, the station hopes to keep viewers in San Antonio, South Texas and surrounding areas up‑to‑date on breaking news, severe weather and community events. “More access to news and information is best for our community, not less,” said Jace Larson, KSAT News Director. “We are dedicated to being in the community, hearing their voices and bringing their stories to the forefront, creating real change and impact.”
Leadership’s vision
Ashley Parker, Vice President and General Manager of KSAT, added that the station’s focus is on “providing the most access to the local stories and news that matter.” She emphasized that adding another news slot is about giving South Texans more ways to stay informed, not limiting coverage. “Our goal is to serve our community, and we will always be at the forefront of this mission,” Parker said.
How to watch
The Rundown will be available on three platforms:
- KSAT broadcast channel at 1 p.m. on weekdays
- KSAT.com, where the live stream can be accessed from any web‑enabled device
- KSAT+ app, free on Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Samsung Smart TVs and other streaming devices, with a repeat airing at 5:30 p.m.

Community impact
Local news remains a vital source of information for families, churches and small businesses navigating daily life. By expanding its newsroom presence, KSAT aims to strengthen the flow of reliable, community‑focused reporting that supports informed decision‑making and promotes the values of faith, family and liberty that many San Antonio residents hold dear.
KSAT’s commitment to free, accessible journalism aligns with the broader goal of preserving a well‑informed public sphere—an essential component of a healthy democracy and a thriving local community.
