KRXI-TV - News Operation

News Operation

KRXI simulcasts newscasts from sister station and fellow Fox affiliate KTVU in Oakland, California. This includes that outlet's entire weekday morning show (from 4:30 until 9), half-hour broadcast (weekdays at noon), and hour-long prime time news (every night at 10). All newscasts are presented in high definition from KTVU's studios at Jack London Square in Downtown Oakland. During the nightly news at 10, there are local weather cut-ins provided by AccuWeather meteorologists. These forecast segments, taped in advance, originate from headquarters on Science Park Road in State College, Pennsylvania. KAME in Reno repeats the 10 p.m. newscast every night at 11:30 p.m.

On October 4, 2010, KRXI partnered with the Independent News Network (INN) to produce a weeknight newscast known as Fox 11 News Eleven at 11. Promoted on-air as "Local News. Less Time.", it aired in an abbreviated format for fifteen minutes (including commercials). This was unlike traditional broadcasts seen in the time slot on Reno's big three stations. The newscast then changed to a half-hour format, in addition to altering the slogan to "Local News. Your World." The newscast is taped in advance from INN's facilities on Tremont Avenue in Davenport, Iowa. The news anchors, meteorologist, and sports anchor are provided by the centralized news operation and other personnel from INN can fill-in as needed.

KXRI maintains two local reporters based in Reno who contribute content to the show. This is the first time the station has ever had a news department of its own even though it is very small with a skeleton crew based out of the station's studios. Fox 11 News Eleven at 11 is streamed live on KRXI's website and there is also on demand video of the weeknight broadcasts.
