Fresno news/talk station KMJ 580 AM and 105.9 FM is teaming up with local TV station ABC30. The partnership will see ABC30’s Action News reports added to the local radio station. The reports will include news, sports, weather, and human interest stories.
The partnership brings together two powerful local news platforms to benefit TV viewers and radio listeners. KMJ morning host Chris Gabriel told ABC30 he’s enthusiastic about the two sides joining forces.
“The amount of work that comes out of ABC30 is going to benefit us on the radio side in infinite amount of ways,” said Gabriel. “ABC30 does it better than anybody, and I think we do it pretty well here. When you get that combination, I think good things are going to happen for your viewers and for our listeners.”
KMJ presently airs regular news briefs at the top and bottom of the hour. ABC30 Meteorologist Kevin Musso will be part of the new plan, updating KMJ listeners on the latest local weather forecasts.
“Our goal at ABC30 is to always provide Central California families with the best news, weather and information,” said ABC30 General Manager Michael Carr. “This partnership with KMJ is going to allow us to reach even more people all the time through this radio partnership. It’s a big win for the Valley.”
