KDTX-TV, virtual channel 58 (UHF digital channel 45), is a TBN owned-and-operated television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex that is licensed to Dallas, Texas, United States. The station is owned by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. KDTX maintains studio facilities located in TBN's International Production Center on West Irving Boulevard (Highway 356, between it and Texas State Highway 183) in Irving, and its transmitter is located south of Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill.
The UHF channel 27 allocation in the Dallas-Fort Worth market was initially applied for broadcasting use by the Metroplex Broadcasting Company (owned by Adam Clayton Powell III (son of civil rights activist and congressman Adam Clayton Powell, Jr.) and former KDFW (channel 4) anchor/reporter Barbara Harrison) for a television station under the call letters KDIA (a Spanish translation for the word "day"). The station was founded on January 15, 1985, however it is not known if it ever signed on.
KDTX-TV first signed on the air on February 9, 1987 (the call letters had previously been used by a radio station on 102.9 FM, now KDMX); it was built and signed on by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. In recent years, KDTX has been considered TBN's second-most important television station (after its flagship station, KTBN-TV in Santa Ana, California), particularly as the Dallas-Fort Worth market has a large religious base. TBN has since moved several of its operations, including some production facilities, to the Metroplex.
