KMSS-TV, virtual channel 33 (UHF digital channel 34), is a Fox-affiliated television station located in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States. The station is owned by Marshall Broadcasting and is operated under a shared services agreement with the Nexstar Media Group, owner of NBC affiliate KTAL-TV (channel 6); Nexstar also operates MyNetworkTV affiliate KSHV-TV (channel 45) under a time brokerage agreement with owner White Knight Broadcasting. The three stations share studio facilities located on North Market Street, north of Downtown Shreveport; KMSS maintains transmitter facilities located near Mooringsport (southeast of Caddo Lake). On cable, the station is available on Comcast Xfinity channel 8.
The station first signed on the air on April 11, 1985, originally operating as an independent station; it was the first independent in the market and the first television station to sign on in Shreveport since ABC affiliate KTBS-TV (channel 3) debuted thirty years earlier in September 1955 and the first station in all of Louisiana to broadcast in stereo, doing so upon sign on. Owned initially by Media South Shreveport, the station originally operated out of studio facilities located on Jewella Avenue (between Claiborne Avenue and Ninock Street) in western Shreveport. The station aired CBS programs that KSLA-TV (channel 12) declined to air, mostly the network's late night and morning lineup (with the exception of The Price Is Right and The Young and the Restless) and most of its Saturday morning children's programming.
