KIDY, virtual channel 6 (UHF digital channel 19), is a Fox-affiliated television station located in San Angelo, Texas, United States. The station is owned by Tegna, Inc. KIDY maintains studio facilities located on South Chadbourne Street in San Angelo, and its transmitter is located in rural northwestern Tom Green County (east of Grape Creek). The station also handles master control operations for sister station and fellow Fox affiliate KXVA in Abilene.

MyNetworkTV programming is carried on digital subchannel 6.2, which is branded as "My San Angelo".

The station first signed on the air on May 12, 1984, originally operating as an independent station. KIDY became a charter affiliate of the Fox Broadcasting Company when the network expanded its programming to primetime on April 5, 1987 (prior to that date, Fox only carried a late night talk show, The Late Show with Joan Rivers). In the late 1990s, KIDY began branding as "Fox 10," in reference to the station's channel position in the area cable providers (including Suddenlink Communications); the station's branding was changed to "KIDY Fox San Angelo" in 2007. In 2008, KIDY was purchased by Bayou City Broadcasting in a group deal for approximately $3 million.
