Your Local News & Weather 24/7
In 2004, KOAA-TV began providing Southern Colorado's first 24-hour local weather channel, Weather First Now. In early 2007, this cable channel evolved to become News First Now with the addition of more news coverage, plus a nightly 9-minute news "blast" at 9pm.
Currently available on Comcast channel 9 in Colorado Springs and Comcast digital channel 247 in Pueblo, News First Now provides local news and weather 24 hours per day, 7 days per week.
News First Now is your place to watch Colorado Rockies baseball every weekend! The first 20 games on our schedule were on Sunday afternoons; the final 4 games on our schedule are on Saturday nights. Click here to learn more.
News First Now also delivers the top stories of the day and the full First Alert weather forecast in 9 minutes at 9pm every night of the week. These compact, yet complete newscasts are produced by News First 5/30, Southern Colorado's News Leader. Meteorologist Mike Madson, who has more than two decades of local forecasting experience, leads the weather coverage. Laura Rojas is the main producer and news anchor.
