KPRC 2 Houston will replace its new 10 a.m. newscast with "The Drew Barrymore Show" starting August 12, 2024, when the Olympics coverage ends.
"We are thrilled to bring The Drew Barrymore Show to our audience," said KPRC 2 VP/General Manager Phil Lane. "Drew's unique blend of optimism, humor, and heartfelt conversations aligns perfectly with our mission to provide uplifting and engaging content."
"KPRC 2 News Today at 10am" was launched in September 2023 along with a new 3pm newscast.
The 10am news crew of Owen Conflenti, Sofia Ojeda, Justin Stapleton, and Justina Latimer will remain on the KPRC 2 morning news from 5am to 7am and offer reports throughout the day.
"The 10am will not be all news," Ojeda posted at the time of the 10am newscast launch. "There will be lighthearted stories and lots of moments KPRC2 Owen Conflenti and I will share with y’all on daily topics and what everyone is talking about."
According to the show's website, "The Drew Barrymore Show" airs weekdays at 3 a.m. on CW39 Houston KIAH.
