About ABC13 Houston and its newscasts
KTRK-TV has been Houston’s ABC station since 1954 and is owned directly by ABC through its owned-stations group. The newsroom covers Houston, Harris County and the wider Southeast Texas region, including Galveston and the Gulf Coast.
The station’s newscasts all carry the Eyewitness News name, from the 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. starts through 11 a.m., 3 p.m., the early-evening block at 6 p.m. and 6:30 p.m., and the 10 p.m. late newscast. Investigative work runs under the 13 Investigates banner.
Hurricane season matters a lot here. When a storm or flood threatens the area, the 24/7 stream becomes the station’s main live outlet for weather updates, and the ABC13 YouTube channel also runs separate live cameras around Houston, Galveston and Lake Conroe. It is worth bookmarking before the season starts.
abc13.com also posts full newscasts on demand, and the station’s live page links to 13 Alert Traffic, a live view of conditions on Houston’s freeways. That makes the page useful even between newscasts, especially during the evening commute.
If the ABC13 Houston stream won’t play
Live feeds occasionally drop for a few seconds when the station switches programs or restarts the stream. If the player above shows an error, refresh the page first. If that doesn’t help, use the official button above to open the stream on abc13.com, which always points to the station’s current feed.
Script and ad blockers can stop YouTube embeds from loading, so try pausing them for this page. Some segments may be limited for rights reasons, and when a hurricane, flash flood or severe storm hits, this stream is typically where ABC13’s extended live coverage runs.
