KOAT Action 7 News Albuquerque — Watch Live

KOAT, known on air as Action 7 News, is the ABC station serving Albuquerque and much of New Mexico. From the Rio Grande valley and the Sandia Mountains to Santa Fe and the smaller communities scattered across the high desert, the newsroom covers a large and varied stretch of the state.

New Mexico's high-desert setting gives KOAT a wide range of weather to report. Dry heat settles over the region in summer, monsoon moisture can bring thunderstorms and flash flooding to the arroyos, and winter storms drop snow across the higher elevations and mountain passes. Wildfire season is a serious concern in the dry months as well. Beyond the forecast, the station follows state politics at the Roundhouse in Santa Fe, Albuquerque and Bernalillo County government, traffic along I-25 and I-40, public safety and the economic and cultural stories that shape life in New Mexico.

KOAT also tells the community and human-interest stories that reflect the state's rich heritage, along with high school and local sports and consumer segments aimed at helping viewers. For those who have long called the Land of Enchantment home, Action 7 News is a familiar companion for the day's events. You can stream it live and free on NewsPlay, with no cable, subscription or sign-up required.
