Gray Media is set to broadcast and stream a half-hour documentary special, “Together for Texas,” detailing the devastating impact of recent flooding in Central Texas and the Hill Country region.

The special, produced by journalists from Gray-owned KWTX (Channel 10) in Waco, follows first responders and volunteers working on the ground to assist flood victims. It also includes coverage of a local nonprofit’s ongoing recovery efforts and explores how communities are rebuilding in the wake of the disaster.

The program will air Friday at 6:30 p.m. Central on Gray-owned stations in nine Texas markets, as well as the national online stream Local News Live at 8:00 p.m. Eastern, with encore presentations throughout the weekend. Additional Gray affiliates outside Texas will carry the special as well.

The following Gray Media-owned or operated stations will air the special live on Friday:

  • KBTX (Channel 16, CBS) in Bryan, Texas
  • KCBD (Channel 11, NBC) in Lubbock
  • KFDA (Channel 10, CBS) in Amarillo
  • KGNS (Channel 8, NBC) in Laredo
  • KLTV (Channel 7, ABC) in Tyler
  • KOSA (Channel 7, CBS) in Odessa
  • KSAT (Channel 12, ABC) in San Antonio
  • KTRE (Channel 9, ABC) in Lufkin, Texas
  • KWTX (Channel 10, CBS) in Waco
  • KXII (Channel 12, CBS) in Sherman

The broadcast coincides with a fundraising campaign led by Gray, KSAT and KPRC (Channel 2, NBC) in Houston in support of the Salvation Army’s flood relief efforts. That initiative has already generated more than $243,000 in donations.

“We are all moved by the stories of the families and communities impacted by this tragedy,” said Sandy Breland, the Chief Operating Officer of Gray Media. “Gray is committed to telling those stories, and shining a light on their needs, so they can recover and rebuild.”
