Channel 40, Sacramento’s Fox affiliate, launches new afternoon weekday broadcast
Local Fox programming via Sacramento’s Ch. 40 has launched a new one-hour weekday broadcast at 4 p.m.
The newscast on KTXL-TV, the south Sacramento-based television station known as Fox 40, will feature breaking news, weather, reporting from a larger Fox 40 news team and will be anchored by Roseville native Riley Carroll and Adam Epstein, the station’s meteorologist, according to a news release on the station’s website.
“Our 4 p.m. newscast will give viewers even more opportunity to get local news and the certified most accurate weather forecast every weekday,” said Lisa Burger, Fox 40’s news director, in the announcement.
Carroll recently joined Fox 40 after anchoring and reporting for several years in Colorado and California, the station said. She grew up in Sacramento.
“Thank you for letting me into your lives and your homes,” she said. “I look forward to serving this community in the best way I know how, sharing stories and important information.”
Fox 40 said the addition of a 4 p.m. newscast brings its total hours of weekday news coverage to 12.
While available on nearly all cable systems, as well as over the air, Fox 40 is temporarily unavailable to DirecTV customers along with hundreds of other stations as part of a carriage dispute with Nexstar Media Group.
