NewsWatch 12 premiered September 16, 1985. In a few short years, the stationās newscasts became the most-watched in the region. That tradition continues. Today, NewsWatch 12 produces 36 hours of local news programming a week, more than any other station in the region.
KDRV-TVās commitment to the communities it serves has made it an innovator in local television news. NewsWatch 12 produced the marketās first late local weekend newscasts. We introduced the regionās first 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. weeknight newscasts. We were the first to bring southern Oregon a live early-morning newscast. The addition of KDKF-TV in 1989 brought a powerful signal carrying KDRV-TV programs to viewers throughout the Klamath Basin.
Our YouTube channel is just one of many ways you can tune into southern Oregon and northern California's #1 source for news, weather and sports.
