FOX 26 KRIV is promising some big changes Monday morning. The station has been posting cryptic social media messages promising out with the old and in with the new for 2019.
"Welcome to our very LAST DAY of FOX 26 MORNING NEWS!! Wait for it....on Monday, won’t you join us for Houston’s Morning Show," posted morning anchor Melissa Wilson on Facebook Friday morning.
As Wilson mentioned, the new show will be called Houston's Morning Show, not to be confused with Houston's Morning News on 740 KTRH. It will apparently be the same anchors, but just with schedule changes.
For example, 'Wake Up! With SallyMac & Lina' which debuted in September gets an extra hour.
The station even created a Facebook event to reserve your time Monday morning to get a backstage look at the new newscast:
NEW YEAR, NEW SHOW

I have no idea if this has anything to do with these promised big changes, but FOX 26 recently got competition from a new local version of Morning Dose on CW39 KIAH. Also in 2018, KHOU 11 re-branded its morning newscast #HTownRush with a more youthful appeal.
