KFAA-TV (channel 29) is an independent television station licensed to Decatur, Texas, United States, serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex.
Channel 29 went on the air as KMPX in 1993 and was the original flagship station of the Daystar Television Network, a Christian ministry that operated from headquarters in the Dallas suburb of Colleyville and later Bedford.
In 2020, KMPX was acquired by Tegna, giving it UHF spectrum to improve the reception of WFAA while continuing to broadcast Estrella TV as its primary subchannel.
Tegna acquired the rights to telecast Dallas Mavericks basketball in 2024, with channel 29 airing most of the team's games, and concurrently switched the primary subchannel to an English-language independent station under the new call sign KFAA-TV.
[2] Though the group hoped to be weeks away from signing the station on the air and gave dates of April 15 and June 1 for a planned sign-on,[3] AEI never put it into service.
[8] After a settlement was reached, the construction permit was granted to Decatur Telecasting, owned by Charlotte, North Carolina, housewife Karen Hicks, in December 1985.
Liberman Broadcasting became Estrella Media in February 2020, following a corporate reorganization of the company under private equity firm HPS Investment Partners, LLC.
[20] On September 6, 2024, Tegna announced a deal with the NBA's Dallas Mavericks to move the team's local broadcasts to its television stations.
