Midlothian oil and gas business raided by federal agents
Federal searches and election fallout gave FOX 4 Dallas-Fort Worth two distinct local stories drawing attention this week.
The most watched new upload, "Midlothian oil and gas business raided by federal agents", has passed 200,000 views. David Sentendrey's report follows FBI and IRS searches at homes and an oil and gas business facing lawsuits alleging investor fraud. Neighbor Kevin Pardue describes waking to a substantial federal presence, while aerial footage and a street map establish the spread of the searches. Sentendrey says the business had not provided comment by the time of the report.
That upload also has the channel's strongest daily momentum. Next comes "The future of THC & hemp sales in Texas", an interview with Hometown Hero CBD CEO Lukas Gilkey about what Dan Patrick's defeat by Vikki Goodwin could mean for the industry. A separate upload, "Texas hemp industry on Dan Patrick's loss", extends that election-policy thread.
Across the channel, uploads gained roughly four million views over the week. Subscribers were unchanged, and daily viewing is close to its usual level. Among nearby local-news channels, CBS New York is drawing a substantially larger daily audience than usual, while FOX 11 Los Angeles is running below its typical pace.
FOX 4's other continuing thread is follow-up reporting: Shaun Rabb returns to September's missing-mail case, where an ongoing investigation has left victims waiting for answers.
A Texas politician who has held the state's lieutenant governorship since 2015. He is also a radio talk show host and television broadcaster.
