Profile CDBS |
KGHZ, virtual channel 15 (UHF digital channel 19), is an Antenna TV-affiliated television station that is licensed to Springfield, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by Schurz Communications. Gray Television, which owns NBC affiliate KYTV (channel 3), and ABC affiliate KSPR-LD, operates KGHZ under a shared services agreement. All three stations share studio facilities located on West Sunshine Street in Springfield, while KGHZ itself maintains some transmitter facilities located on Switchgrass Road, north of Fordland.
The station first signed on the air on March 9, 1983 as KSPR; it was the first independent station in the Springfield market. KSPR was founded by Springfield TV Association Ltd. The station originally operated from studio facilities located on South Glenstone Avenue in eastern Springfield. The following year, it sold channel 33 to the broadcasting unit of television production company Telepictures (later renamed Lorimar-Telepictures); the sale was approved by the Federal Communications Commission on December 12, 1984. The following February, Telepictures pursued an affiliation with ABC. On April 3, 1986, ABC decided to terminate its affiliation with KDEB-TV (channel 27, now MyNetworkTV affiliate KOZL-TV) and the network subsequently moved to KSPR. It was at this time KSPR moved to the Saint Louis Street facility.
