KMOV Channel 32.1 to Expand Local News with ABC Network in St. Louis
KMOV, a CBS affiliate in St. Louis, will begin broadcasting ABC network programming starting September 1, 2026. This expansion will significantly increase local news coverage in the area, addressing a gap where the current ABC affiliate does not offer local news. KMOV plans to leverage its 'First Alert 4' news team to deliver dedicated local newscasts, weather updates, and community coverage alongside ABC's popular programming. The move is seen as a commitment to enhancing local journalism and providing St. Louis viewers with high-quality news and public service.
