KLKN-TV (Lincoln, NE)

Before March 1996, it was quite surprising that a city as large as Lincoln, Nebraska, had just one local commercial TV station. This changed in the spring of 1996 when Channel 8 KLKN-TV began broadcasting, bringing an ABC affiliate to Lincoln. More than just a new TV station, KLKN-TV offered quality programming, a dedication to serving the community, and a strong promise to deliver the best and most thorough news coverage for Lincoln and its surrounding areas.

    The summer-like heat comes back by the afternoon hours for Tuesday, warming up to about 90° again. That’ll mean a fairly mild morning for the kids with only so many days left of school. We’ll get just a little warmer even on Wednesday, without humidity to come with this heat. Later Wednesday evening, some storms are expected to develop across northern Nebraska. Storms look to track east from Wednesday evening after about 5 p.m. into the overnight hours, mainly staying pretty far north.

    LINCOLN, Neb. (KLKN) — Some drivers feel blindsided by a change at the Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles that’s causing them to miss their vehicle registration renewal deadlines. Some people are now receiving their notices by email — though many don’t remember signing up for that. Debbie Unterseher is like many people who rely on a letter to come in the mail, reminding her to renew her vehicle registration. But this year, her letter never arrived.
