SHERMAN, Texas (KXII) - Spring storm season is here, and the KXII 12 First Alert Weather Team has put together a half-hour special with everything you need to know before storms arrive.

Join host meteorologist Brady Blackstock, as well as KXII 12 chief meteorologist Steve LaNore and metorologist Brian Briggs, as they break down the history of violent storms that have hit Texoma—and what we learned, how you can prepare for and keep your family safe from severe storms, and the tools we use at KXII 12 to pinpoint storms when it matters most.

“KXII 12 First Alert: Storm Ready” streams free on KXII 12 +. Just look under “Previous Newscasts” and scroll down.

This special, as well as all our newscasts and live CTV-exclusive show “KXII 12 News Now” are available on KXII 12+, our CTV app available free to stream on AppleTV, AndroidTV, FireTV, or Roku.

What is CTV?

CTV stands for “connected television,” simply meaning a TV that’s connected to the internet. Consumer data shows the number of people are watching local news via CTV rapidly growing as viewership of traditional television via antenna, cable & satellite declines as a result of “cord cutting.”

What is KXII 12+?

KXII 12+ is simply our free CTV app. Think of it like a Netflix-type interface, but for your favorite local news and weather. You’re able to stream live anytime, as well as watch videos on demand (VODs) like recorded newscasts, individual news, weather and sports clips, past special programs, and video archives.

Note: CBS and FOX network programming is not available to stream on CTV.

Is there a subscription fee or paywall?

No. KXII 12+ always streams free.

I searched ‘KXII’ on my smart TV and nothing came up. What do I do?

While we’re working to get our app on every TV manufacturer’s platform, we’re not there yet. If you search ‘KXII" and nothing comes up, you can still get KXII 12+ with the purchase of a Firestick or Roku device, usually widely available via Amazon and other retailers. Another alternative is to access our primary livestream at kxii.com/livestream via any device and mirror it onto your smart TV.
