KCEB
KCEB (channel 54) is a television station in Longview, Texas, United States, affiliated with the Fubo Sports Network.
Although KCEB is licensed as a full-power station, it shares spectrum with KPKN-LD, whose low-power signal only covers the immediate Tyler–Longview area.
The station's original analog transmitter facilities were located northwest of Longview, at the intersection of State Highway 300 and FM1844, near the town of East Mountain.
Shortly after receiving the affiliation, on January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW, which would be aimed at young adults between the ages of 18 and 34.
[12] London exempted KCEB from the deal (as well as company flagship KTXD-TV in the Dallas suburb of Greenville), which will result in only the second instance in which a duopoly will be legally and operationally separated (the Sinclair Broadcast Group is similarly splitting up its Birmingham duopoly of WTTO and WABM, to acquire WBMA-LD and its satellites as part of its purchase of Allbritton Communications).
[18][19] On March 10, 2023, following the announcement of Scripps to combine the True Real and Defy TV networks in to one, KPKN-LD DT2 switched to Ion Television, becoming the area's second affiliate, alongside KETK-TV DT3.
KCEB also carried a rebroadcast of sister station KYTX's morning newscast, preempting classic television programs aired by MeTV from 7 to 9 a.m. weekdays.
Timeless TV would then be replaced with Novelisima, a network of telenovelas (or soap operas), returning KCEB to Spanish language programming, on January 13, 2023.
MMN programming is similar to Timeless TV, featuring infomercials, combined instead with old movie titles which are readily available in the public domain, as opposed to sitcoms.
In early March 2024, Novelisima programming was discontinued from the main KCEB signal replaced by beIN Sports Xtra Español.
