TV Channel Overview
Operating from Orlando under the News 6 brand, WKMG-TV is an English-language CBS-affiliated television station focused on Central Florida. CBS network programs form part of its schedule, alongside locally produced news, weather, traffic, sports, and reporting on public safety, government, consumer issues, and community affairs.
Central Florida’s geography gives WKMG a varied regional news agenda. Coverage extends beyond the Orlando metropolitan area to communities across the region, including the Space Coast, where rocket launches and spaceflight activity have long been recurring subjects of local reporting. Hurricanes, severe weather, and preparedness information are another regular focus because of their effects on communities throughout Florida.
WKMG began broadcasting in 1954 as WDBO-TV, becoming the first television station in Central Florida. The station later adopted the WKMG call letters, which reference Katharine Meyer Graham. As the CBS-affiliated station in Orlando, WKMG combines national network programming with locally produced journalism shaped by the weather, public affairs, transportation, and community issues of Central Florida.
