I have received many messages from viewers saying that KHOU 11 Houston has canceled its 4:30am newscast.
This week, the early Channel 11 morning newscast has been replaced by a full hour of "CBS News Mornings."
But, fans of the KHOU 11 4:30am news, do not go back to bed just yet! I hear that the early newscast will return soon.
In the meantime, here is some trivia for you. Did you know that KHOU 11 debuted the first 4:30 a.m. newscast back in September 2009? It was called "11 News First Look" and was anchored by Sherry Williams and meteorologist David Paul.
As far as 4:30am newscasts, KPRC 2 canceled its 4:30am news in January 2023. KSAT 12 San Antonio (both KPRC and KSAT are owned by Graham Media Group) canceled its 4:30am in October 2023.
Also, early risers can still grab their coffee and watch Houston TV news starting at 4 a.m. on the newly launched ABC13 KTRK "First at 4AM" and the very longtime running FOX 26 KRIV 4 a.m. newscast.
