28.2 (or virtual channel 3.2). KTBS launched a digital subchannel on virtual channel 3.2 in 2004, which originally carried a live feed of the station's Doppler radar – known as "Mega 3 Doppler" – accompanied by an audio simulcast of NOAA Weather Radio station WXJ97. In April 2008, the subchannel became an affiliate of The Local AccuWeather Channel, under the brand "KTBS 24-Hour Weather". Alongside carrying regional and national forecast segments provided by the AccuWeather-operated network, KTBS also produces pre-recorded local forecast segments presented by meteorologists from the station's "Storm Team 3" weather staff – which are updated two to three times per day – for the subchannel. In 2014, the subchannel switched to primarily carrying simulcasts of pre-recorded weather updates in 15-minute intervals as well as loops of weather radar and satellite imagery, and near-real-time video from the station's various SkyCams around the Ark-La-Tex (accompanied by a ticker showing current conditions from both primary observation sites and station-volunteered cooperative observers, and three-day weather forecasts for cities within the KTBS viewing area). KTBS-DT3 KTBS-DT3 is the local news-formatted third digital subchannel of KTBS-TV, broadcasting in widescreen standard definition on UHF digital channel 28.3 (or virtual channel 3.3). The subchannel is also available as a livestream via KTBS-TV's website. On September 1, 2002, KTBS launched KTBS Cable News, a 24-hour local cable news channel that was originally available on Comcast in Shreveport and Cox Communications (which sold its northwestern Louisiana systems to Cebridge Connections [now Suddenlink Communications] in May 2006) in Bossier City that primarily aired simulcasts of KTBS's morning, midday and evening newscasts as well as rolling repeats of the station's most recently aired newscast. KTBS Cable News shifted to an over-the-air simulcast on virtual channel 3.3 in July 2005. Programming KTBS-TV currently broadcasts the complete ABC network schedule (it did not begin clearing the entire network lineup until April 2018, when it reduced its Sunday 5:00 p.m. newscast to a half-hour in order to start carrying the Sunday edition of ABC World News Tonight, which had been preempted by KTBS since the mid-1990s.) The station may preempt some ABC programs in order to air long-form breaking news or severe weather coverage, or occasional specials produced by KTBS' news department. ABC shows preempted or otherwise interrupted by such content may either be rebroadcast on tape delay over KTBS' main channel in place of regular overnight programs. Station personnel also gives
