Spectrum News has launched Spectrum News Alabama.
The 24/7 news network is available to Spectrum TV customers across the state on channel 1. The network features local headlines every 15 minutes, and hyperlocal weather forecasts every 10 minutes on the 1s. The network also is available to Spectrum customers via the Spectrum News App on mobile, Xumo Stream Box, Roku and Apple TV.
“We welcome the launch of Spectrum News in Alabama,” said Governor Kay Ivey. “In bringing their programming here, Spectrum News will support coverage of the local stories that matter most to communities across Alabama through the lenses of journalists and reporters living here.”
Alabama native Jasmine Redus has been named executive producer for the network. Redus, who grew up in Huntsville, began her journalism career in 2014. She spent five years at WHNT News 19 in Huntsville, where she served in numerous roles including as morning executive producer and dayside executive producer.
“As a native Alabamian, I understand the key issues that are most impactful to our residents,” said Redus. “Access to objective and reliable community-based news is essential for informing and empowering our audience. Spectrum News journalists will deliver coverage that captures the voices and stories of our state.”
Xavier Harris, an Alabama native, will join the network and report on the community in and around Birmingham, an area he previously covered as a general assignment reporter at WVTM 13 in 2018. Additional reporters will be announced soon.
