KMEG ending news broadcasts

Sioux City CBS affiliate KMEG was the last in Iowa markets to come on the air, in 1967. It didn’t have local news broadcasts for 16 years, 1983-99. The entire news operation is being cancelled again.

The Sioux City Journal (h/t Dave Busiek) and KSCJ radio both say that KMEG’s last local broadcast is tonight. Sinclair will run a national news show there instead, as it does on KFXA in eastern Iowa. See also this blog post from North Pine Broadcasting.

Sinclair moved KMEG from Channel 14 to Channel 44.3 in 2021.
