News Operation
On April 10, 2011, KCBD began broadcasting their newscasts in high-definition.
KCBD has the tenured anchor staff in Lubbock. Abner Euretsi has been at the station since the mid seventies when he anchored with Jane Prince. Euresti was paired with Karin McKay in 1980 under news director Carl Skip Watson (guiding light of the Lubbock food bank initiative) and have worked together since. Sharon Hibner Maines was the main anchor at cross town KLBK-TV in 1979 until she left for a public relations job at Furr's Supermarkets. She resurfaced at KAMC and later came to KCBD.
One time weather anchor Clyde Robert "Bob" Stephens was founder of 99.5 FM KWGN in Abernathy, Texas. It was later called KWGO and is nowadays Lubbock's KQBR. Former sports anchor Bob Howell was a co founder of a Texas oriented sports channel for cable that is now at the heart of the present day Fox Sports Southwest network.
