KSAT 12 News Reviews

by Sdhhkmmmmm

This is in ref to Facebook (FB). I follow KSAT on FB & this is the ONLY way I can get my message through since they block anyone that may have a different opinion. I was blocked TWO YEARS ago, ONLY b/c my opinion was different than that of the now "former" Meteorologist. I believe she left for Tyler or somewhere near that area for a new job. I disagreed w/ a forecast & THAT is why I got blocked, so now if I want to send in weather pics to your FB page or to be able to interact, I can't! I feel as if I'm being discriminated against & left out. I enjoy your station a lot. Rooftop Weather, lunch w/ Katie & Dave, the regular special news stories, etc but unfortunately, I can't even interact because of that one former employee that blocked me 2 yrs ago. It's my understanding that if you're a business and a public entity (a PUBLIC page w/ a blue checkmark) all people should be able to have their First Amend. (1A) right, to freely speak their opinion. It's my sincere hope that KSAT will allow "ALL" people to freely interact w/o censuring & blocking folks they may not fully agree w/. Does KSAT have any interest in resolving this issue w/ a loyal viewer or will you continue to exclude people from their right to interact? You probably won't even reply to this, but we shall see.

Gosh, if it was slanted news before it is just getting worse.
Propaganda for Clinton and failed to report that Senator Grassley asked for an investigation and suspension of her clearance almost 2 years ago NOT just this year or last year as KSAT’s story reports.

KSAT12News and KSAT news is so biased and slanted it is MSNBC and all the other fake news stations. These KSAT anchors and reporters just won’t stop adding their biased opinions. I have stopped watching the news and watch the weather forecast and then only when Katie or Justin are on. The others are so annoying! Better to just watch the Weather Channel and Fox News.

Used to watch KSAT all of the time. I don’t watch it much at all anymore because of its increasingly progressive, skewed agenda. It is no longer an honest representation of what is happening in San Antonio, or around the world. Not one news story of anything positive that our president has done has been seen in the last few years. Not one news story of anything negative that occurs because of the increasingly violent, hateful, and intolerant progressive community is shown. You have become a vehicle for lies. I feel sorry for the anchors, and reporters that are forced to present this garbage for fear of losing their jobs. You no longer present news, and will be partially responsible for the ruination of our country. I watch and use KSAT12News only for the weather and to try to keep up with what’s happening.

Pop ups slow app down tremendously and cause you to “accidentally” tap on them when trying to tap on a story. On Home Screen ads are just as enraging as the pop ups. They’re so sensitive that when you try to scroll they click instead and take you to some spam website in Safari. Also, the stories often lock up or don’t show their content. Overall terrible app and horrible abuse of pop up/wallpaper ad links. I deleted it and just went with KENS instead.

So I wanted to get updates on the weather during our super freeze on February 17th. Our power has been out for over 48 hours. I downloaded the KSAT news app and was finally going to get an update. I selected the “Watch Live” button and it showed me Tuesday afternoon and evening weather. That would have been fine if it wasn’t already Wednesday. I guess when they say it’s live, they mean it was live at some time during the previous week. Worthless app in my opinion. I will be looking for another app that is useful.

Light on serious content, big on "dog bits man" or "man bits dog." Short on serious content or there's nothing really substantive going on in SA. BUT...most people probably want: sports, weather, and who ran off the road.

Your stringers need help with basic composition and use of nouns that are appropriate for the circumstances. I will pick on Cody King for an example.

“He was pronounced deceased at the scene.” The word “deceased” is used to describe someone who has been dead in some distant past, or as a pronoun.

“The victim was pronounced dead at the scene” is more conventional and correct.

Some of Cody’s writing parallels “police-speak” which is often an overly legalistic or jargonistic form of speech. A fleeing subjected is not “caught”, he is “apprehended”. Actually, if he was chased through a neighborhood and tackled, “caught” is a good verb to use.

Someone in your organization could actually help some of these writers by making some critical editing or post-how suggestions to improve the sharpness of their writing.

As an organization, you will come off more crisp in your writing and more credible.

Hi all, are you guys using breaking news for sports updates? I'm getting interrupted a lot because of those notifications. And I have sports notifications turned off. Weather should not be a separate app, confused for reason on that. The amount of breaking news is terrible. Why are you all using a random factoid as breaking news? I like your station but your app is a nightmare when I’m trying to concentrate on work. The notifications literally border on you all doing it for sport or to be funny. If I disable notifications I can miss the really important one. So either way I’m screwed. Get my drift?

I can't watch a whole news cast without adds interrupting it. I understand that ads are how things get paid for, but I saw more ads than news Tuesday morning, one of which interrupted the traffic report. I of course didn't check any other road report and got stuck in traffic that took 3x longer to get through. If I could get the channel on my TV it would be great but I rely on KSAT12News because I can't get the channel. Please fix the advertisements. I already know way to much about power swabs and how precise thermometers need to be. 😉

Was hoping latest update would solve problem. Watching live stream from within an article: about two minutes into it, it stops. Must touch “x”, wait to return to article, then push play, wait for ad to finish, then watch 2 minutes and repeat the process. Really not very effective way to deliver news.
Other than that I like KSAT12News fine.

I’ve always seen ksat 12 news but was so very Disappointed this morning the News Conference came on because i saw it all and then as the Spanish version was starting for the Hispanic people it went back to the ksat 12 news and Marilyn Morris said that we had already heard what we needed to hear BUT what an insult to the non speaking English people!!! What the heck!! Don’t they need to hear the news Conference as well! I was totally livid for the Hispanic people. I am an American and know English but why aren’t they worthy to hear the news as well! Ugh!!
Won’t be seeing ksat 12 any longer!

1000+ cars, and at least 3X as many people turn up and completely fill the parking lot at Cowboys Dance Hall for a pre-election Trump rally along with no more than 2 dozen protestors (I counted them myself)... and predictably enough, what do these folks do? They turn up to cover to “cover” the guys waving Mexican flags and shouting profanity at children like they’re the virtuous heroes of the day... makes me sick.

KSAT is the only local station I watch for the up to date news and weather. They are like family. I watch from early morning until the 10:00 pm news. I record them in case I have to leave. I never miss ABC WORLD NEWS TONIGHT WITH David Muir at 5:30 either. If you’re not watching KSAT, you’re not up to date.

by DD Vanderbilt

This is definitely the place to be for news. The people at KSAT 12 Are professional and still have fun with it making it extremely easy to watch. Just try it I think you’ll love it. LC

I start my day with “Good morning SA” and a nice hot cup of coffee. Then I head off to work and keep up on current events. Lots happening in this world today that we are on edge all the time. Thank you for keeping me informed through these seemingly perpetual times. ....X

by Peacegreen

The KSAT app is best I’ve seen for a city app on phones. Very very comprehensive and full of user friendly tech. Instantly watch and see up to date as it goes on. I had “one of the other news stations “ app. I deleted it. Was of no use !!
Thanks for your commitment to educating San Antonio with the facts as they Happen.

by HML2010

The number of commercials on the live cast are ridiculous!!! Absolutely ridiculous!!! There were 8 consecutive commercials. Couldn’t even watch the newscast. Missed lots of the news content. False pretense of starting that you have a livecast!!!! Very, very disappointed.

by Oakylene

Why does some of the reporters allowed to dress terrible their clothes is to tight for their bodies it’s very sickening an unprofessional looking
Some need to lose a lot of weight how do they see over their bellies Ursula always looks beautiful an so does both Sarah’s an Katie the new woman an the lady with beautiful long black hair an Mira are also very pretty

by Cold In Colorado-Burr!!

I depend on KSAT news to keep me updated on all the current news and weather! Thank you for always being up to date on a variety of current events! Please keep up the great broadcasting! 🇺🇸 🇨🇱 Katie Thomas/ Denver, Colorado

The morning news team is the best,it's like they are a real family. I love how they are serious when giving the news & how funny they are when playing with each other. I can't wait to see them every morning 😊 Janie from Lytle thanks guys

Why do I keep getting different alerts on separate devices? I get more traffic updates on my iPhone then I do my iPad and all notifications are set to on for both devices. When I’m home I predominately use my iPad and when I’m out that’s when I use my phone. I shouldn’t have to be reaching for two different devices when I can just use one. Also would be nice if there was some type of sound/tone when we get an alert. Please fix

by MikeW2k

Always buggy. Sometimes live broadcast will start on time and other times who knows. The ads during commercial breaks, same ad plays 3 times in a row. That’s absurd. Really absurd.

Now I’ve noticed during the live sports broadcast we get a message that they can’t show video due to contractual reasons or whatever. Probably not KSAT fault but that’s pretty lame.

I cut the cord years ago and for some reason ksat is the only local station I can’t get ota so this is the only way I can watch ksat news and it’s dismal at best.

Don’t even try to compare KSAT12News with the other locals. I like how they bring the updates the quickest but more than anything they fixed all the stability issues that most news apps have. Shout out to their developer. Good job 👍🏽.

by SA Golfer

KSAT is my go to station. Never make stories up.. always fair. When Steve Browne, or the rest of his weather gang says it’s going to happen.. it happens.
Leslie and Mark.. fun to wake up to.
Unlike other stations that lead with sound bites..KSAT, Doesn’t!!
They are the epitome of professionalism. Maybe CNN should come down and spend a week with them!

by Nina And Stormy

I am from Laredo we were able to watch the news years ago here in Laredo not anymore, but now I still watch the news on my phone or on my iPad very professional and love you tv station 🥰❤️

by Fdali

They keep me posted all day, from accidents on the road, to construction on roads. Sometimes all the way to Austin Texas, and coming back, to San Antonio,With updates on my phone.
Weather also sunny in SA crazy weather today in Buda TX, strong cool winds. Crazy.
But there in top of reports. Awesome team. On are side.

I love the morning crew! You can tell they all get a long great and I love how they tease each other. Getting up early is hard enough but having a great news crew with your coffee makes it all better. Keep doing what you are doing ♥️👍🐾

I love to read the KSAT news on my phone. Sometimes I’m the first to find out before everyone in the family. But the elderlies tell me “ well yeah, you have a touch phone and we have a flip phone” Lol! Too sweet!
