It’s important to the KHOU 11 Digital Staff that we keep our readers up to speed with all the news happening in the community and nationally.
In an effort to make sure you get the news you want, we have launched custom push notifications on our mobile app which allows you to subscribe to the news you care most about.
In the past, our push alerts have gone to each of our tens of thousands of app users. Now, you get to finally customize your news.
Here’s how it works: If you haven’t already, download the KHOU 11 app via the Apple Store or Google Play.
Next, you’ll see a screen giving you the option to choose which push alerts you’d like to receive. If you already have the app downloaded on your phone, you can go to the settings icon and then click “Customize Alerts” to activate the topics you would like to receive.
