The Great KXAN Caper: Did Austin Lose Its Favorite News Source?
Hold onto your Stetsons, Austinites! We've all woken up with that groggy feeling at some point, stumbled to the coffee pot, and... KXAN's gone?! Fear not, fellow news junkies, because this dramatic disappearance wasn't some alien abduction (although wouldn't that make a killer story?).

The Plot Thickens: Contract Shenanigans
Back in the wild west days of 2007 and 2008 (which feels like yesterday in internet years), KXAN got tangled up in a classic cable company showdown. Apparently, negotiations for how much those cable giants should pay to show KXAN in your living room went about as smoothly as a two-step with a cactus stuck to your shoe. KXAN felt they were under-appreciated, while the cable companies...well, let's just say they weren't exactly rolling out the red carpet.
The result? KXAN vanished from some cable systems, leaving a news-shaped hole in many an Austinite's morning routine.
KXAN Today: Alive and Kicking (and Weather-Reporting)
Thankfully, those contract disputes are a thing of the past. KXAN is alive and well, broadcasting their local news wisdom and keeping you updated on that all-important Texas weather (because let's be honest, flash floods and 100-degree days are practically Austin's mascots).
Tip: Don’t skim past key examples.
