| KSAT.com is getting a makeover! Hey KSAT Insider, We are improving KSAT.com and we want you to be the first to know. We’ve made a series of updates, most behind the scenes, to get you news and weather wherever you are, faster than ever.
Soon you'll see a new, modern design created to reduce page load times three times faster than our old site. The improved performance saves you time and battery life while you check your go-to source for local news and information.
The most exciting changes are ones you can’t see – at least, not yet. Our design team implemented a new system that allows for faster innovation, meaning we’ll be continuously improving KSAT.com to meet your needs. (Have an idea? We’d love to hear it. CLICK HERE.) Day to day, the news team now has more flexibility to report news, from breaking stories with livestreams to data-driven deep-dive reporting.
Our release notes on the new design are below. Do you have feedback on the changes? Share them here. The design team will read every submission, so please take a minute to offer your input.
Along with the updated look, we decreased load times, improved mobile display and laid the foundation for rapid improvements in the future. Here’s what exactly you can expect:
Faster load times
KSAT.com now loads 300% faster thanks to a refreshed design and a new back end system. Our team’s design experts worked through numerous iterations to reduce load times, saving you time and battery life. We’re now the fastest-loading local news website in San Antonio.
Improved video
Our new video player improves quality, speed and reliability for livestreams and video on demand. You can watch KSAT newscasts live, or replays for stories on the site 24/7.
Easier-to-find stories
