2019 was a year full of local stories that were heartbreaking, important, captivating and sometimes just plain weird. As the year comes to an end, the team behind KSAT News at 9 wanted to put together a show dedicated to revisiting the biggest moments of the past 12 months.
This special includes everything from a look back at the crimes that shocked the city, to the political controversies that made headlines. We also put together a roundup of the top financial tips from our consumer series, Money: It’s Personal.
