The best Bay Area news station

I’m 60 years old and have watched news from different TV stations throughout my life. I started watching KTVU news when Dennis Richmond was an anchor. Ever since then it’s the only news I watch. I love the ten o’clock news the most, because that’s when I’m relaxing and able to pay attention the most. I also love how the anchors will actually go out before or after work and comment on FB about how a certain story affected them. Frank and Julie are the best and true professionals. Keep up the great work everyone, we do notice! Larry B

Tired of the Bias

I am deleting The KTVU app from my phone and iPad and am no longer watching it on TV. I am sick and tired of the bias in mainstream media and very disappointed with this network particularly. The only exception is Steve Paulson, however, and will miss his smiling face. I used to watch KTVU because of their local Bay Area coverage, but have been increasingly frustrated with the attacks on President Trump and obvious bias towards the Democrat party. Would be nice to get a network that has no bias but that seems to be impossible these days. This latest article about Trump was the final straw! The bias is so obvious it’s almost laughable! It is also criminal how so called news stations withhold reporting events that don’t fit their progressive agenda. Goodbye KTVU. I’ve watched you for almost my entire life.

Dougiefrmvtown

I have every tv station app on my iPad and iPhone. KTVU is the first app I go to for breaking news whether I am in town or traveling out of state. It shows all up to date news in an easy scroll.The only problem I experience fairly regularly is it often goes to a live broadcast without any action on my part. That's not good when it's late at night and my wife is asleep.I hope KTVU reads this and does a bug fix.

Fox is now in charge

I used to count on KTVU news as my go-to source for local and national news. They were the best in the Bay Area. Over the past two or three years, I’ve noticed the station slowly lose it’s edge and now KTVU has lost it’s balanced reporting and is losing me. The equal, fair treatment all stories used to have has been gradually replaced by a spin towards supporting a conservative agenda. It’s sad to see and is difficult to find a replacement for the news feed I’ve counted on for decades but the stories are no longer balanced and story selection is biased. KTVU has lost it’s relevance in news reporting and I don’t tune in or log in for entertainment, I do so looking for news. I’ll miss you for the station you used to be.

One big flaw otherwise decent

KTVU is definitely the best news in The Bay Area but this app isn’t. The biggest flaw with the app that I cannot stand is: I get a notification, click it and instead of it taking me to the story, it takes me to the home page. And to make it worse, the story isn’t even listed! Now, I’m scrolling through all the titles just not to find it. Ads and commercials are not good either but I can live with them if someone can PLEASE fix the links! Very frustrating!

App has been the worst for years

This app has been the worst for years. 5 stars for the notifications, 0 stars for the rest of the app. Before-the notifications would open the app, just to open a web page; lately, it’s not even doing that. Lately, I get a notification, and it just opens the home page of the app, with a piece related to the notification nowhere to be found!Previous review:Receive Push Notification, Select Notification, App opens, App then opens web browser ...this is the KTVU News app! Terrible-yeah, I know!! If you like how this works, then you're in the right place. Else, keep searching for a proper news app!

Good start but needs work

I like the app but a lot times you get an alert, click on it and it opens in Safari where it sits loading forever. If you close out cause you think your hung up then try to go back there's no way to get back to the alert. I'd wish the app handled everything without opening Safari and that you had a way to see your alerts again in case there was a hiccup. Also the add that's at the bottom and expands out couple of minutes is annoying as hell.

Could be a five with changes

While I believe KTVU news is the best television news outlet in the Oakland Bay Area, the streaming news feed could use some changes. First, please update the ad contents! The same commercial with Kanye Kardashian's offensive and idiotic notion that “slavery... was a choice” should have never aired. Unfortunately, it in high rotation and advertises a program that is neither news or newsworthy. Also, we don’t need to see multiple ads for KTVU between news segments — if we didn’t like the station, we would not be using the app. Run PSA’s instead — give something back to the community that supports you.Second, it could be my older equipment, but I experience the app freezing several times an hour.I do like that I can see the 10 o’clock news at 11:30pm — I like how the 10 and 11 news repeats; however, it appears you have to have logged in between 10-11:30 to enjoy this feature. Just run the programs repeatedly until the 4am program starts so people getting home late can watch the news regardless of the time.

Needs some work

I moved out of the Bay Area 1 year ago but am still a long time loyal KTVU viewer thanks to the app. I appreciate that the "live" video will replay if there is no actual live broadcast at that time. Although it does fail to play on occasion saying that the video is unavailable. But I am very happy that I can still watch most of the time. However, there are a couple of things that annoy me about the news alerts that are pushed to my phone. Please do not send a push notification if there is no story on the app yet. It is really frustrating when I see an alert that I want details on and find myself having to search KTVU competitor websites to get the story. Also, please evaluate which notifications go out. Some contain errors (with spelling or even content), some are really not worthy, some worthy stories are missed, and some are just ridiculous. For example, I saw one that read, "Coroner says victim in accident has died." Well, that's pretty obvious if the coroner was there. But what accident? Where did it happen? Was it a car accident? Plane? Train? Oil refinery? So many questions... and no story on the app to find out. I guess we will never know.

Love the news cast

We enjoy watching the news first thing in the morning. It is a great way to start the day. It’s just like seeing good friends or family.The commercials are really poorly organized. It’s very hard to watch the same thing three times in a row although mostly it’s twice in a row. Varying and interspersing them is important. Pleas space them out. I don’t want to turn it off for a minute and then turn it on again. I mostly just mute them or walk away.
