On February 10, 2014, the "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" reported that the station intended to restart an in-house news department, with 5:00 and 10:00 p.m. newscasts slated to be anchored by KFTK (97.1 FM) morning host and former KMOV reporter Jamie Allman. On November 24, 2014, KDNL officially announced that it would launch its new news program, "The Allman Report", in January 2015. KDNL and Allman described the program as an extension of his radio show, with a conservative, "debate-driven format" that focused on local headlines and issues. "The Allman Report" originated from the studios of Pelopidas in Brentwood rather than from KDNL's facilities.
