KVUE

Encyclopedia : K : KV : KVU : KVUE

KVUE is the local Austin, Texas-based ABC affiliate, owned by Belo Corporation. Its transmitter is located in Austin.

It began broadcasting on UHF channel 24 in 1971 and has always been an ABC affiliate, unaffected by the numerous network changes on Austin TV stations in recent times. The station airs on cable channel 3 on most cable systems in the Austin area.

KVUE was at one time owned by Gannett between 1986 (when it was acquired as part of Gannett's purchase of the Detroit News Association and its subsidiary Universal Communications) and 1999. This was when Belo was establishing a Texas based news network partnership with KHOU in Houston, WFAA in Dallas-Fort Worth and KENS in San Antonio upon the creation of a 24-hour cable news network called TXCN -- and when Belo was looking to add KVUE to that partnership, it decided to swap KXTV in Sacramento for KVUE with Gannett.

Before the KVUE of today existed, the calls were originally used on a now-defunct television station out of Sacramento, California which broadcasted on channel 40; that same channel today is used by Fox affiliate KTXL.
