KTVT, virtual channel 11 (UHF digital channel 19), is a CBS owned-and-operated television station that serves the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and licensed to Fort Worth, Texas, United States.
The station is owned by the CBS Television Stations subsidiary of CBS Corporation, as part of a duopoly with independent station KTXA (channel 21). The two stations share primary studio facilities on Bridge Street (off I-30), east of downtown Fort Worth; KTVT operates a secondary studio – which also handles advertising sales operations for both stations – at the CBS Tower on North Central Expressway and Coit Road (north of NorthPark Center) in Dallas; KTVT maintains transmitter facilities south of Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill.
The station first signed on the air at 2:30 p.m. on September 11, 1955 as KFJZ-TV, after a launch ceremony culminating in Fort Worth oilman Sid Richardson flipping the ceremonial switch to activate the transmitter. It was the first independent station to sign on in Texas, the fourth television station to sign on in the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex (after NBC affiliate WBAP-TV (channel 5, now KXAS-TV), which signed on the air on September 29, 1948; ABC affiliate KBTV (channel 8, now WFAA), which debuted on September 17, 1949; and CBS affiliate KRLD-TV (channel 4, now Fox owned-and-operated station KDFW), which debuted on December 3, 1949), and the first to debut in the market since the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)'s 1952 lifting of a four-year freeze on new applications for television station licenses.
