Nexstar’s recently acquired Fox affiliate KTXL Sacramento, Calif. (DMA 20) will debut the hour-long weeknight newscast Fox40 News at 7 PM on Dec. 4.
The broadcast “will be the only local newscast at that hour serving the California communities of Sacramento, Modesto and Stockton,” according to the station.
The new broadcast will expand KTXL’s total hours of weekday local news to nine and a half per day.
“Nexstar’s television stations are committed to serving their local communities with informative, engaging, and exclusive local content,” said Tim Busch, president of Nexstar Broadcasting. “We’re extremely proud to be offering more local news programming Monday through Friday than any other stand-alone TV station in the Sacramento television market.
