History

KTXS began with the call letters KPAR in January of 1956. The station's first studio was built in Sweetwater; broadcasts from this location included a six o'clock newscast. Ten years later, the station was moved to its current location in north Abilene. Subsequently, the call letters were changed to KTXS. The station became Abilene's ABC affiliate in 1979.

The News Leader

According to Nielsen Media Research, KTXS has been a perennial ratings leader for morning and weekend newscasts; however, for ratings-period February 2006, the station's ten o'clock news broadcast was top-rated for the first time in the program's history. Television experts, including professors of a nationally accredited college of journalism and mass communication, credit a superior product as the reason for the recent evening ratings shift.

The CW

Beginning in September of 2006, KTXS will broadcast the shows of the new CW Television Network on its digital channel 20.
