KVCT

It is owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting, which maintains a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Morgan Murphy Media, owner of ABC affiliate KAVU-TV (channel 25), for the provision of certain services.

All of the stations share studios on North Navarro Street in Victoria and transmitter facilities on Farm to Market Road 236 west of the city.

[3] By late 1963, two applications had been received by the Federal Communications Commission, from Guadalupe Valley Telecasting Company—headed by Dwight Strahan—and the Frels family doing business as the Victoria Television Company.

[4] A hearing examiner gave the nod to the Frels in June 1964,[5] but the ownership of the construction permit would completely turn over before KXIX broadcast a picture.

[6] Two years later, the Frels family sold their interests to McKinnon Broadcasting, owner of Corpus Christi ABC affiliate KIII.

[7] Now a joint venture of KIII and Dwight Strahan, KXIX signed on November 22, 1969, after beginning test broadcasts a day earlier.

[9] In June 1975, Victoria Communications Corporation, a consortium of local investors, reached a deal to buy KXIX from Guadalupe Valley for $225,000.

[19] Having been stripped of its valuable assets and ABC affiliation by the shuffle, KVCT—which rebuilt its program lineup around FamilyNet—immediately encountered financial difficulties; it slashed its broadcast day to seven hours in the afternoon and evening.

Medley sought to have the station and channel allocation moved to New Braunfels, where KVCT could enter the San Antonio media market.

Under a lease agreement with Withers Broadcasting, KVCT returned to the air on September 11 as the market's first Fox affiliate; previously, viewers depended on Foxnet to see the network's programs.
