FOX 7 Austin moves from election results to the practical business of taking office in its most-watched new upload: Vikki Goodwin introducing the people who will help prepare her administration.

Rudy Koski's report follows the lieutenant governor-elect at the Texas Capitol, where she names a bipartisan transition team and identifies public schools, healthcare and affordability as priorities. Former Republican state senator Kel Seliger puts the emphasis on cooperation. Chris Turner chairs the team, with Angela Hale as executive director.

Goodwin, who defeated Dan Patrick, also invokes Ann Richards and Barbara Jordan as inspirations. Koski closes with a less ceremonial question: Senate Republicans' interest in curbing the lieutenant governor's authority. The report drew about 15,000 views in its first four hours, the largest audience among the week's new uploads.

Across 23 uploads, the station also covered Republicans selecting new House leadership and offered Spanish-language reports on Congress's lame-duck return and security in the Strait of Hormuz. Those two Spanish reports are among the uploads attracting the most daily views, alongside a rather different gathering: Louisiana's giant-omelet celebration.

The channel added roughly 663,000 views over the week, while subscribers stayed unchanged. Its daily viewing is currently well below its usual level. Among nearby local-news channels, CBS Pittsburgh had a much larger viewing week; FOX 7 Austin's weekly total sat between those of CBS News Sacramento and CBS Colorado.
