KRIS-DT2 is the CW-affiliated digital subchannel for the Corpus Christi area of South Texas, part of The CW Plus, carried NBC affiliate KRIS-TV 6.2 ,that is owned by Cordillera Communications (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Evening Post Publishing Company). The subchannel is also carried on Grande Communications channel 16 and Time Warner channel 23.

Newscasts

The main channel produces a prime time newscast weeknights at 9 on KRIS-DT2 and sister station KDF. However, each channel has its own title and opening for the show. After KRIS-TV and former rival KZTV joined forces, the former moved into the latter's facilities in September 2010.

Due to technical issues with the move of KRIS-TV it was not able to air newscasts from September 26 until September 28. That station unveiled a brand new high definition-ready set and graphics package on September 29. Eventually, KRIS-TV will stream all of its newscasts on the website. Previously, it had streamed the weekday noon show online.
