El Paso, Texas --
What makes The KFOX Morning News so Different?

You’re busy in the morning. We get that. With everything you need to do to get ready for your day, you don’t need a morning newscast that wastes your time. That won’t happen when you watch The KFOX Morning News.

At KFOX, we’re dedicated to giving you the news, weather and traffic you need, every morning from 5 to 8am. The KFOX Morning News is unique in many ways, but here are 8 big reasons for you to watch.

1. Emmy award winning breaking news coverage

At KFOX we’re committed to providing you with the best breaking news coverage, day or night. In fact, The KFOX Morning News is the only local morning newscast that has a large enough crew to respond instantly to the scene of two breaking news stories at the same time. Anytime.

2. Why does KFOX always have the best overnight news coverage?

KFOX is the only local station to have a fully staffed newsroom overnight. When KFOX News at Nine is over, we don’t shut down for the night like other local news departments. Producers, Anchors, Reporters, Photographers and Editors are all reporting for work and working all night long to bring you the best, most complete coverage in the morning. That’s why we don’t have to read our news out of the newspaper or ‘fill time’ with interview segments. Most of our competitors small staffs don’t report for work until 3 or 4am, and often don’t know what’s happened overnight until they watch The KFOX Morning News at 5am.

3. KFOX has the most honored morning News Anchors

KFOX Morning News Anchor Noreen Jaramillo has received more awards than most other television stations combined! Among Noreen’s dozens of awards are multiple Murrow’s, and an Emmy nomination for her work informing El Paso and Las Cruces viewers on one of America’s most challenging days, September 11th, 2001. No other Morning Anchor has the proven experience that you can count on in a crisis. It was experience that once again shone through during our flooding of August and September. Prior to his legal studies, Israel Balderas worked for several international news organizations including Reuters Health Video Online and the Associated Press TV/Latin America. Most recently, he worked as a political journalist during the day while attending law school at night, producing for FOX News Sunday and the FOX News Channel.

But it doesn’t stop there. Noreen and Israel are not just anchors, but reporters as well. Both don't spend their day sitting behind a studio desk. Their both out in the community reporting on the stories that are important to you.

4. We’re Serious about Weather

At KFOX, we take your safety seriously. That’s why we’re serious about weather. We’ve invested more than any other station in the most-advanced weather technology, to bring you the most up-to-date information available anywhere. That's why this summer KFOX was first with every Severe Weather Warning. And only KFOX can track storms right to your neighborhood to let you know the exact minute they’ll hit.

Our commitment to being here for you has never been matched. Storm after storm, year after year - Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall, KFOX is the only station El Paso and Las Cruces residents have been able to count on for complete Severe Weather Coverage. Brad Montgomery is on duty all night and all morning – so even if there’s severe weather at 1am, you can turn to KFOX and you’ll get the information you need to stay safe.

5. A keen focus on Traffic

Miri Marshall spends her morning looking for trouble. KFOX is the first and only local television station to have a dedicated traffic reporter. So instead of guessing where the trouble might be, Miri has the time to find out where traffic is heavy, and where it’s smooth sailing. And if it’s a serious situation, she’ll go to the scene to give you a closer look.

6. Only KFOX can combine the power of America’s top Cable News Networks

Only KFOX is affiliated with both FOX News and CNN, giving us the ability to cover breaking news virtually anywhere! Whether it’s new tensions in the Middle East, or a hurricane targeting the U.S., you can count on KFOX to have the latest information and breaking video from both of these two powerful news organizations.

7. We’re still live at 7am!

In El Paso and Las Cruces, The KFOX Morning News is the only live news choice from 7 to 8am. While our competitors air network programs recorded hours earlier, KFOX is still live, still focused on breaking local, national and international news. Maybe this is why more local viewers are now tuning in to KFOX at 7am, and turning off Good Morning America and Today.

8. More News, Fewer Commercials

You may not notice it at first, but when you watch The KFOX Morning News, you’re getting more News, Weather and Traffic. That’s because all KFOX newscasts are designed with fewer commercials than our competitors. And that means more news, weather and traffic to start your day.

So when you're looking for Coverage you can Count On, there's only one place you can find it in the morning. For these reasons and many more, turn to The KFOX Morning News and you will See the Difference!
