KAUZ-TV, virtual channel 6 (UHF digital channel 22), is the CBS-affiliated television station located in Wichita Falls, Texas, United States, and also serves Lawton, Oklahoma. The station is owned by American Spirit Media, and is operated through a shared services agreement by Raycom Media, this makes KAUZ a sister station to ABC affiliate KSWO-TV (channel 7). The station's studios and transmitter are located on Seymour Highway in Wichita Falls. Its signal is relayed through translator station K29FR-D in Quanah, Texas.
KAUZ signed on March 1, 1953 as KWFT-TV, the television arm of KWFT (620 AM, now KEXB). The station has served as the CBS affiliate for the Wichita Falls-Lawton television market since its inception; although in the mid-1950s, the station also carried DuMont programs and during the late 1950s, the station was briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network. KWFT sold the television station in 1956 to Sydney Grayson, at which time channel 6's call letters were changed to KSYD-TV. The station's calls then changed to KAUZ-TV in July 1963, following a subsequent transfer of ownership. KAUZ-TV was also one of several stations nationwide to broadcast The Las Vegas Show, a short-lived late night program from the ill-fated Overmyer Network that ran for a few weeks in 1967.
