KHGI-TV is the ABC-affiliated television station for most of central and western Nebraska and the northern third of Kansas that is licensed to Kearney. It broadcasts on VHF channel 13 from a transmitter in Lowell. Owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, KHGI is part of a duopoly with Lincoln-based Fox affiliate KFXL-TV. Both stations share studios located along Nebraska Highway 44 near Axtell (though the mailing address says Kearney). It also operates a secondary studio facility at the Conestoga Mall in Grand Island.
KHGI-TV's programming (with the exception of commercials) is repeated on KWNB-TV (channel 6) in Hayes Center, both stations are branded as the Nebraska Television Network, or NTV for short. The station is part of the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney market, but this market has historically had little basis television reality and is only completely realized on the local satellite feeds. The market does share three television stations, CBS affiliate KOLN in Lincoln (which operates a satellite in Grand Island, KGIN) NBC affiliate KSNB-TV in Superior and Fox affiliate KFXL. However, the market is split for ABC coverage; KHGI/KWNB serves as the ABC affiliate for the western half of the market, while KLKN serves as the network's affiliate for Lincoln and the eastern half of the market. Omaha ABC affiliate KETV also has significant viewership in the eastern part of the market, as all of the Omaha stations are available in Lincoln either over-the-air or on cable.
