In late December 2005, KCRA-TV began using a new "Triple Doppler" radar system for weather reports. On February 12, 2007, KCRA-TV became the first television station in the Sacramento market to broadcast its local newscasts in high-definition. In July 2011, KCRA-TV rebranded its newscasts under the name: "KCRA 3 News". On January 25, 2016, KCRA-TV launched a new 4 p.m. weekday newscast, anchored by Lisa Gonzales and Brian Heap.
