Reviews Summary

Political stories are all very left leaning if not outright complete leftist propaganda

The app is ok. Not as much content or local resources as you might like for a small local news station’s app. The main problem is the same problem with the news station, only it’s organized more pervasively on the app. Their political commentary is so lopsided. They don’t even attempt to put forward an unbiased commentary on the political stories, which makes it useless for that kind of news.

KTVB Good except for relentless ads

I’m enjoying streaming KTVB news in the morning, but the same ads play every time and it has become like torture. I have to turn the volume off on my phone when they come on. The one about Mom Squad is the most offensive. Then the one with the music playing “Never gonna let ya go” Please, please, please change the commercials! There are also way too many! But at least just get some new ads. Otherwise, I like the newscasters and the weatherman. It’s a good program.
Thank you for having this survey.

Great app for a great news station & source!!

I will not watch any other local news station for Idaho news…and I prefer KTVB over national news’s outlets in some cases too!! The app is better than national news apps too! Easy to navigate and notifications are reliable. I have a friend in CA watching the UogI murder story closely and I send her the link to a story update saying “ KTVB is pretty much the primary news source in Idaho...good app to follow and sign up for notifications too...that's how I got this one... of course there are other sources...but KTVB tends to be the main news source for Idaho...if you were interested 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️”

KTVB RATING

KTVB is my favorite station. I cannot watch any of the other local stations. I loved Dee Sarton, but I have learned to love Kim Fields just as much. I love Mark Johnson, he’s a hoot and so good at what he does. Rick Lance is great, Jim Doothie also. Brian Holmes is another great newscaster, he can do the news, jump from that desk and then into the weather forecast. He is also great and can certainly multi task. Then there is my sweetheart Bri Eggers, she just amazes me. A little secret I can understand her when she is speaking. The rest of the staff is also worthy of praise. The morning staff is also awesome, I just don’t get up early enough to watch them. I’m Retired!! Keep up the great work!!

Review of KTVB Online News Feed

I typically do not watch the news on TV as I prefer the online format. For the most part it works. However, many times the online source is repetitive, often days at a time. This may of course occur due to this online format. I especially enjoy the verify portion often discovering answers to issues I have crossed. Even though the online feed falls a little short in my opinion, it is typically the one I gravitate to. I enjoy the reporting and anchor staff at KTVB. They have been my number one source over the last 37 years.

News is news

I have had the KTVB app for many years. I stopped watching it when Dee Sarton retired. Dee’s professionalism couldn’t go unnoticed.

When news about Covid-19, and other political news wouldn’t tell the truth, I had enough. When people’s opinions about President Trump became more important than telling the whole truth, I quit watching it on my tv.

I’ll check out the app for any local news but I don’t watch it much.

Channel 2 app is better

I look at your news app last because it doesn’t have the most updated or all the news that channel 2 has. Take a lesson from them. Also, sports seems to dominate your news when some of us would prefer to know more about regional or national news.
