LOCKNEY, TX – The KCBD-TV NewsChannel 11 Live Community Coverage Tour is gearing up for 2026, and the excitement is already building in Lockney.
Known for bright lights and big stories, one familiar face from KCBD — Kase Wilbanks — is already preparing for the spotlight. Wilbanks, who jokingly says his eyes are sometimes too sensitive to even open on a cloudy day, will be part of the KCBD team bringing the broadcast to town.
The annual tour highlights the people, places, and pride that make small towns across the South Plains special, and Lockney is next on the list.
The City of Lockney is welcoming the KCBD crew with open arms as plans begin to take shape for what promises to be a memorable summer event. Community members can expect engaging features, local highlights, and plenty of hometown spirit as KCBD broadcasts live from town.
Residents are encouraged to mark their calendars for July 22, when fun community activities and special moments will take center stage. More details are expected in the coming months, but one thing is certain — Lockney will be ready to shine.
