KMOV Channel 32.1 to Expand Local News Coverage with ABC Network Programming in St. Louis
KMOV, a CBS affiliate in St. Louis, announced it will begin broadcasting ABC network programming starting September 1, 2026. This expansion aims to fill a gap in the market 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 providing high-quality local journalism and public service to the St. Louis community.
