Kings Network News was officially launched on April 4, 2025, but its foundation was built over the course of eight years. The idea began with early projects such as Hanford Tube and Hanford Times, which laid the groundwork for what would eventually become a full-scale digital news outlet. While those platforms offered value to the community, they did not fully capture the long-term vision.
Driven by the goal of creating a stronger, more inspiring voice for the Central Valley, founder Francisco Ramirez worked to refine the model over time. Drawing from his experience as a former mayor of Hanford and his work as a consultant, he understood both the media landscape and the needs of local residents and small businesses.
The result is a news platform designed to be modern, accessible, and rooted in community connection. Kings Network News continues to grow as a trusted source for stories that reflect the heart of the Valley.
