About

KENS Television has been the trusted news and entertainment television station for generations of San Antonians, stretching all the way back to its first day on the air: February 15, 1950. The station, which was originally known as KEYL and later briefly became KGBS, was the second to go on air in San Antonio. When it was purchased by the Express-News Company in late 1954, the call letters were permananently changed to KENS, which stood for 'K-Express-News-Station.' The newspaper and TV station were bought by Harte-Hanks Communications in 1962, and KENS was part of Harte-Hanks for decades before being sold to Belo Corp. in 1997 and then to Gannett Corp. in 2013.

KENS 5 is building on a decades-long tradition as the news leader in San Antonio. Trusted names on the newscasts included longtime anchor Chris Marrou and folksy sportscaster Dan Cook, among others. Today's KENS 5 news team is continuing their legacy by providing San Antonians with 'KENS 5 Eyewitness News: Coverage you can count on.'

KENS 5 now provides San Antonians with multiple platforms for receiving news and information. In addition to five hours of news programming every weekday, you can receive immediate news updates online at Kens5.com and via the KENS 5 app on your mobile device. KENS 5 also provides news via social media on Facebook and Twitter. Regardless of how you follow KENS 5 Eyewitness News, we remain committed to serving San Antonio by providing news coverage you can trust.

This is my channel

I love this station! Deborah Knapp and Bill Taylor are my favorites. Being from Chicago, my family knows and expects good reporting. We have only been here five years and we discovered KENS5 right away. Keep up the good work!

Great source of latest information

I switched to Kens 5 after another station I had been watching for years was taken over by Sinclair. Great station, caring and accurate reporting and I’m really enjoying the app. Very well designed!

Good reporting

Well written and the videos tell the story smoothly.
AVFoundation
The AV Foundation framework provides an Objective-C interface for managing and playing audio-visual media in iOS and OS X applications.
Core Foundation Framework
Core Foundation is a framework that provides fundamental software services useful to application services, application environments, and to applications themselves. Core Foundation also provides abstractions for common data types, facilitates internationalization with Unicode string storage, and offers a suite of utilities such as plug-in support, XML property lists, URL resource access, and preferences.
Core Graphics
The Core Graphics framework is based on the Quartz advanced drawing engine. It provides low-level, lightweight 2D rendering with unmatched output fidelity. You use this framework to handle path-based drawing, transformations, color management, offscreen rendering, patterns, gradients and shadings, image data management, image creation, and image masking, as well as PDF document creation, display, and parsing.
Core Location Framework
The Core Location framework lets you determine the current location or heading associated with a device. The framework uses the available hardware to determine the user’s position and heading. You use the classes and protocols in this framework to configure and schedule the delivery of location and heading events. You can also use it to define geographic regions and monitor when the user crosses the boundaries of those regions. In iOS, you can also define a region around a Bluetooth beacon.
Foundation Framework
The Foundation framework provides a base layer of functionality for apps and frameworks, including data storage and persistence, text processing, date and time calculations, sorting and filtering, and networking. The classes, protocols, and data types defined by Foundation are used throughout the macOS, iOS, watchOS, and tvOS SDKs.
Launch Services
macOS Launch Services is an API that enables a running app to open other apps or their document files, similar to the Finder or the Dock.Launch Services eliminates apps having to query the Finder to open an app, document, or URL for them. The macOS Finder itself uses Launch Services to perform such tasks. Because the Finder performs no additional processing beyond calling Launch Services, any client using Launch Services for these purposes behaves identically to the Finder.
MobileCoreServices
Use uniform type identifier (UTI) information to create and manipulate data that can be exchanged between your app and other apps and services using MobileCoreServices.
Quartz Core Framework
Allow users to browse, edit, and save images, using slideshows and Core Image filters.The Quartz Composer API supports processing and rendering graphical data and allows developers to create custom patches for the Quartz Composer developer tool. ImageKit provides user interface support for browsing, editing, and saving images, showing slideshows, and browsing and previewing Core Image filters. PDFKit is a technology that allows applications to display and manipulate PDF documents.
System Configuration F...
This collection of documents describes the programming interfaces of the System Configuration framework. The System Configuration framework provides functions that determine the reachability of target hosts in both a synchronous and an asynchronous manner. It also provides error detection facilities.
UIKit
The UIKit framework (UIKit.framework) provides the crucial infrastructure needed to construct and manage iOS apps. This framework provides the window and view architecture needed to manage an app’s user interface, the event handling infrastructure needed to respond to user input, and the app model needed to drive the main run loop and interact with the system.
