The station's service to the community and commitment to local news and weather coverage has consistently made it the Coastal Bend's news leader for decades.
KIII 3NEWS has been at the forefront of some of the biggest stories in South Texas history – from severe weather like Hurricane Allen in 1980 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017, to landmark events like the launch of the Texas State Aquarium and the USS Lexington Museum on North Beach in the 1990s.
Tejano icon Selena appeared on the station dozens of times, most notably on Domingo Live, the longest-running bilingual community lifestyle show anywhere in the country.
