KFWD
KFWD (virtual channel 52.1, digital channel 9) is an independent television station in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex, broadcasting from a transmitter in Cedar Hill, Texas. Owned by HIC Broadcasting and managed by Belo Corporation, the station airs reruns of sitcoms and dramas, movies, religious shows, and rebroadcasts of WFAA-TV programming.
History
Former "Telemundo 52" logo used from 2000-2002
KFWD signed on in 1988 as a Telemundo affiliate. When NBC bought Telemundo and KXTX, they pulled the affiliation from KFWD. KFWD then picked up English programming dropped by both KXTX and KSTR, which became a Telefutura affiliate. The station also included live sporting events (including FC Dallas soccer) that were dropped from KLDT.
Belo Corp. has an option to buy KFWD and create a duopoly with WFAA-TV. As of 2010, that has not yet happened. However, Belo does provide advertising sales assistance, certain technical services and facilities to support the operations of KFWD, as well as airing repurposed editions of WFAA's newscasts and other WFAA programming (including The Oprah Winfrey Show) every evening. Belo also operates KFWD.tv, the station's website, in a visual format similar to all Belo stations.
Analog-to-digital conversion
After WFAA moved its digital broadcast from channel 9 to channel 8 on 12 June 2009 [1], KFWD moved its digital broadcast from channel 51 to channel 9 [2] using PSIP to display KFWD's virtual channel as 52.
Newscasts
KFWD does not air its own newscasts, instead the station airs nightly replays of WFAA's evening newscasts.
