KRGV-TV

KRGV-TV (channel 5) is a television station licensed to Weslaco, Texas, United States, serving as the ABC affiliate for the Lower Rio Grande Valley.

The station is owned by the Manship family of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, through Mobile Video Tapes, Inc., which frequently does business as KRGV-TV Corporation.

KRGV was one of six ABC affiliates to have hour-long 10 p.m. newscasts, along with KOAT-TV in Albuquerque, KITV in Honolulu, WISN-TV in Milwaukee, WEAR-TV in Pensacola, Florida, and KSTP-TV in Minneapolis–Saint Paul.

[citation needed] In September 2010, KRGV began expanded Channel 5 News This Morning by a half hour, pushing the start time to 4:30 a.m.

This caused the ABC program Nightline to air as late as an hour and a half after its network slot and Jimmy Kimmel Live!

In November 2004, KRGV, along with many other ABC affiliates, opted not to air the movie Saving Private Ryan when the network broadcast it uncut on Veterans Day.
