KETV presently broadcasts 30½ hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with 4½ hours on weekdays, 3½ hours on Saturdays and 4½ hours on Sundays). The station operates a Doppler weather radar called "Next Generation Super Doppler 7", which is located near the station's transmitter site near North 72nd Street and Crown Point Avenue. The high resolution weather radar was built in 2007 and updated in 2016. The radar tower at the Crown Point site replaced the original weather radar (later Doppler/Super Doppler 7) that had been based atop the station's original studios on 27th & Douglas Streets in downtown Omaha since the late 1970s. The Douglas Street radar tower and dome would remain standing and unused for several years until the demolition of the original KETV building in May 2016.
