KTVN has something exciting coming up! Next week, they will launch “2 Plus You Nevada,” a new weekday show that focuses on everything Nevada. It debuts Monday at 3 p.m. and will air every weekday before the evening news.
This show marks a change for KTVN, offering a fresh lifestyle program that viewers haven’t seen for years. It will be hosted by Sarah Johns, a familiar face in northern Nevada broadcasting. Sarah will highlight local businesses, food spots, tourist attractions, fashion, entertainment, community events, and charities. Her goal is to connect viewers with the people and places that define the region.
Sarah Johns isn’t new to the local scene. She started her career at KTVN in 1998 and was a main anchor for over a decade. Recently, she was President and CEO of the Nevada Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology, one of the area’s biggest business networking groups. Her experience both on and off the screen gives her a unique edge for this new show.
“I’m thrilled to be back with KTVN,” says Sarah. She sees this show as a chance to tell positive stories from the community while balancing her life as a wife and mother. Sarah and her husband, Dave, have two kids, Zac (8) and Stella (6).
While the station had a magazine-style show years ago, 2 Plus You Nevada takes a modern spin on community storytelling. Segments will focus on current events and local interests, providing viewers with an hour of engaging and uplifting content.
In a time when community connections are more vital than ever, shows like this can help bridge gaps. According to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center, over 80% of people believe local news is important for keeping up with their community. Engaging programming can foster bonds and boost local pride.
As the show unfolds, social media trends may also provide insight into viewer reactions and the impact on local businesses featured. Audiences could share their favorite moments or even suggest stories to cover, creating a space for community interaction.
Overall, 2 Plus You Nevada promises to be a lively and enriching addition to KTVN’s lineup, aiming to celebrate the unique tapestry of northern Nevada.
