KMEG is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Sioux City, Iowa, United States. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on UHF channel 39 (or virtual channel 14 via ) from a transmitter in unincorporated Plymouth County, Iowa east of James and US 75 along the Woodbury county line. The station is owned by Waitt Broadcasting; Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns Fox affiliate KPTH, operates KMEG under a shared services agreement. The two outlets share studios along I-29 (postal address says Gold Circle) in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota.
The station signed on September 5, 1967, as the market's third television outlet. It has been affiliated with CBS since the beginning. Before its launch, the network had previously been carried on KVTV (now KCAU-TV) from 1953 until 1967. That station switched its affiliation to ABC on September 2, 1967, and Siouxland was briefly without a CBS affiliate until KMEG signed on three days later. KMEG was started by a group of local investors led by Bob and Norma Donovan. Its call letters were selected in honor of their daughter Meg who would later pass away.
