Sinclair’s Cedar Rapids Stations Become “Iowa’s News Now”

Posted on February 3, 2020 by Jon Ellis

Sinclair Broadcast Group has rebranded the newscasts on its CBS and FOX affiliates in Cedar Rapids as “Iowa’s News Now.”

KGAN and KFXA continue to brand as CBS2 and FOX 28 for other programming, but use the new branding within newscasts and online. Iowasnewsnow.com redirects to cbs2iowa.com (though a similar domain name, iowanewsnow.com, is owned by someone else).

The “News Now” branding has been adopted in numerous markets in recent years, including by Gray TV stations in Mankato and Sioux Falls within the past month. Gray owns a competing station in Cedar Rapids.

Sinclair owns KGAN and operates KFXA through an agreement with Second Generation of Iowa.
