KETV, virtual channel 7 (UHF digital channel 20), is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The station is owned by Hearst Television and its studios are located on 10th Street in the historic Burlington Station; the building carries the address of 7 Burlington Station. The transmitter is located on a "tower farm" near North 72nd Street and Crown Point Avenue in north-central Omaha. The station is also available on Cox Communications cable channel 9 and CenturyLink Prism TV channels 7 and 1007.
The station's digital channel is multiplexed:
In July 2006, KETV launched digital subchannel 7.2 as a 24-hour local weather channel, "Weather Now," an affiliate of The Local AccuWeather Channel with local weather information supplied by KETV's meteorologists; "Weather Now" was also carried on local cable providers and was streamed on the station's website. On September 1, 2011, KETV replaced "Weather Now" with the classic television network MeTV.
KETV is one of several Hearst-owned ABC stations, and among a handful of ABC affiliates, that broadcasts high-definition programming in the 1080i resolution format rather than 720p like most ABC stations.
KETV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 7, on June 12, 2009, as part of the federally mandated transition from analog to digital television. The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 20, using to display KETV's virtual channel as 7 on digital television receivers.
