KGNS was born January 7th of 1956. Initially on air as KHAD-TV, broadcasting NBC, CBS and ABC programming. For a very long time, known in the community as “Pro 8 News, your good neighbor station”. Now as KGNS, the Laredo station has been owned and operated by Gray Television since December 31, 2013. KGNS is an NBC, CBS, ABC, The CW and Telemundo affiliate. KGNS offers KGNS NEWS weekday and weekend newscasts just like livestream and digital platforms on our KGNS.TV website and application platforms led by anchors Ruben Villarreal, Mindy Casso, Yocelin Gallardo, Brenda Camacho, Sports Anchor Ryan Bailey and Weather anchor Yolanda Villarreal. KGNS is also proud to be home to Laredo's iconic Chief Meteorologist Richard "Heatwave" Berler, C.B.M. who has been on KGNS News for over 40 years. In September of 2009, Telemundo Laredo, our groups’ Spanish language powerhouse, welcomed veterans in the industry and respected journalists Lupita Benavides and Sports Anchor Roberto Galvez Jr. to join Telenoticias, followed a few years later by Marissa Limon, Miguel Amante and Erika de Toro now with both weekday and weekend newscasts. In April 2004, KGNS (NBC) became the first local television station to broadcast a digital signal. KGNS, ABC, CBS, The CW, and Telemundo Laredo thank you for making your Good Neighbor (Family of) Stations a Laredo icon. In Texas, KGNS reaches Laredo (market number 185), Asherton, Bruni, Carrizo Springs, Catarina, El Cenizo, Encinal, Hebbronville, Mirando City, Oilton, Rio Bravo and Zapata. In Mexico, KGNS can be seen in Nuevo Laredo, and Guerrero. KGNS appreciates your patronage and will continue to serve with pleasure all the communities in South Texas and North of Mexico, as their slogan says, its "coverage you can count on".
