KVFD-TV, UHF analog channel 21, was an NBC-affiliated television station licensed to Fort Dodge, Iowa, United States, which operated from November 23, 1953 to May 4, 1977.
Edward J. Breen, a Fort Dodge attorney and former Democratic state legislator, owned KVFD radio and bought KQTV (channel 21) in 1953.
Bob Shannon handled the noon and 10 p.m. nightly news, occasionally with Vince Fleming, who also focused on sports reporting.
Shannon was also Hormel's Wilfred The Wiener Wolf mascot when portrayed on the Uncle Dick's Funhouse afternoon show.
Other locally produced shows were Saturday Night's Barn Dance, which was televised live from KQTV studios.
