I've never done a yelp review before but I felt very compelled after seeing a couple lower ratings…read more I've watched all the other local channels and haven't been impressed. Channel 7 is the only station that has always reported the news as is without a bias towards one side of the story or the other. As a person that works outside for a living, I appreciate the accuracy and frequent weather forecasts given. The morning anchors are entertaining as well. I literally watch 1-2 hours of Fox 7 a day and don't have anything even slightly negative to say about the station. I'm a third generation Austinite and don't ever see myself switching news stations! Thanks for reading my first review!

Fox 7 News...ok the news,though "entertaiment" more than factual is still ok…read more The weather reports are fantasy at best. I'm not asking for more accuracy- no that would be unreasonable. But- not near as unreasonable as your weather forecasts. Give the guy a wand and a pointy hat....at least at that point it would be funny. LOL

I attended a fundraising event at KLRU PBS today at the Austin Community College Highland campus…read more I was not aware that KLRU PBS had a space to host a social gathering. The capacity in the main event room was approximately 250. The room had a raised stage with audio visuals and large projection screen. There were 10 persons table with ample room to pass by. During the event there were several stations set up, picture backdrop and a rotating camera station. Within the hallways and the main even space there was plenty of room to walk without bumping into someone. Staff was on hand to direct you or help you with questions. They were all super friendly. I will definitely consider coming to or planning an event here.

The process told me to go to my email and get a new confirmation code. I did. I followed the instructions. When I went to sign on I received a message stating that my subscription had expired and ask if I would like to renew my subscription.....over and over the instructions went. Sign in or subscribe. Two days trying to get someone on the phone..... no success. The only reason I sometimes touch base on PBS is to see what liberal garbage is being expounded. It is opinion for the most part and is always lower than one would expect from a taxpayer funded entity.

horrible, won't be watching this station again, right in the middle of charlie Kirk wife's speech,…read morefox station cuts off and goes to local news, no mention of when or if they will go back to the memorial, acted like it didnt even exist, to them it was like another boring Monday afternoon, alot of ppl was serious about seeing the memorial, and poof just like that, they take it off the air to report on the weather which was doing nothing, no rain or clouds of any kind then talking about what was going on in the city this week , really ppl, get your head out of the sand. my yelp review dont waste your time with this station I give ut a big fat 0 star review I dont watch alot of local news stations much, so lesson learned, this local station is out of the question, how can anyone working at a news station be this dumb, hello...anyone home up there, or is it all just air ​

I like Fox 7 because not only do they play the most outrageous daytime commercials, but they also…read moreproduce their own wacky commercials that I also very much enjoy. Their commercials are LOUD which I hate because most of the people in them yell or they have some wacked out music from 1988 blaring in the background. But then I think of "Austin's watching FOX! Austin's watching FOX!" I can forgive them for the noise. I only really want to watch 2 to 3 hours of judge shows when I get the day off, so taking a full day and afternoon of the programming is out of the question. I do thoroughly enjoy that good 2 to 3 hours of Judge Alex and Judge Joe Brown and Judge Judy (the best!) and, again, half the fun is the commercials. You get crazy David Komie "I don't look like a lawyer, but it helps me sneak up on them" and whoever that Funk guy is yelling and parading around that Hummer he painted with his name all over it. I hate the Allied Health Careers and business school ones though, and I think if I watched them everyday the irritation of them alone would have me interviewing everywhere within a week. The best thing about Fox 7 is just how sensational and over the top it is. I love that. I love that their newscasts have names like Fox 7 News Edge First at Nine! I think they could add a "2 the X-treme!" in there somewhere to really drive it over the top. But for now, that'll do. Fox 7 is just very entertaining all around to watch and I really appreciate how much fun it is when I go home and watch bland boring Shreveport newscasts where you want to poke the newscasters with a stick to get some life out of them. One more thing! I love how they are letting children do the weather reports in the morning. When it's not precious, it's hilarious. I've been switching over from GMA more and more.

Horrible, absolutely horrible! We're trying to watch the 2023 CMT Awards LIVE from Austin and we…read morecan't watch it because your stupid Chief Weather lady won't shut the hell up so we can see them! You guys know that Temple and Waco are covering this storm in that area. This weather doesn't affect us here in the immediate Austin area! Ridiculous absolutely ridiculous! If the CMT Awards were on another station everyone would be watching it there! This is the reason why NO ONE likes your station or your weather lady, she very unprofessional!

Used to enjoy the local cbs news but since it was taken over by Sinclair and started airing Full…read moreMeasure it has lowered itself with bias reporting. As a former educator Full Measure is an ideal piece of programming to analyze how subtle forms of propaganda can influence viewers. Full of half truths and out of context information to send a political message. I have switched to the local NBC. They need the local reporters to have some follow up info to counter balance the Full Measure programming. Stay educated! Understand propaganda techniques. Read a variety of news sources and look for those techniques before you draw any conclusions. Never vote from a position of ignorance.

The Austin American Statesman is the local newspaper for the Austin area. They've also got a…read morewebsite that does a pretty good job. The reporting tends to be a bit on the conservative side. They do some investigative journalism and get into the issues. Being that they're in the center of Texas politics, it's their responsibility to find out what's going on in the branches of Texas government. I feel that they do a fair job at this. They seem to be a lot more conservative than the populace of Austin is, advocating for a conservative approach to government. There's a lot of ads in here, and it seems to be overtaking the news. I wish they'd expand the cartoon section. I've never subscribed to this paper, but I always read it when I'm in town.
