KUSI is the rarest of the rare, a true independent television station competing with nine network affiliates (including Spanish language stations and PBS). Its independence allows KUSI to be 100% local, able to break at any time for important news stories. Already more than seven and one half hours a day are dedicated to local news on weekdays, and four and one half hours a day on weekends. Plus, KUSI features live newsbreaks every hour between newscasts, so viewers are never more than thirty minutes away from the latest breaking news stories.

KUSI NEWS' independence and localism have allowed it to become the most-watched news station in San Diego. The incredible staff of KUSI NEWS anchors and reporters is the most experienced in the business, with veterans who have not only worked in San Diego, but grown up here as well. No television station in San Diego does as much for the community through Public Service announcements or sponsorship of events as KUSI. It’s no wonder that KUSI NEWS has been an audience favorite for over 15 years!
