For decades, ABC30 Action News has been bringing you live, local, and late breaking news, weather, and sports from the Valley and beyond. But starting Monday, January 7th, Action News ventures into new territory -- prime time. You can watch Action News Live at Ten on KAIL, My 7.1.
ABC30 President and General Manager, Dan Adams, said this new partnership with KAIL fulfills a viewer need. "We also see it as a great opportunity for us to further our commitment to the community, the Central Valley -- to continue to provide news and information to them, in the ABC30 brand, whenever and where ever they want it."
Adams said ABC30 viewers have wanted to see Action News in prime-time for a long time, and the partnership with KAIL makes it possible without interfering with network programming on ABC30.
KAIL Program Director, Bob Jenkins, believes his station and its viewers will also benefit. "You're going to bring people, viewers, to our station that we haven't had before. People who are looking for news at a convenient time, and not just any news, but probably the best produced news in the Valley."
Action News Live at Ten will be produced in the ABC30 studios and transmitted to KAIL via a fiber optic line in high definition.

"We've got a great group of folks who love covering the Central Valley -- love covering Central California -- and going and finding those stories and bringing them to viewers across Central California."
"I can't tell you how excited we are to be working with the premiere producers of television news in the Central Valley," said Jenkins.
