KTXA, virtual channel 21 (UHF digital channel 29), is an independent television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex that is 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 CBS owned-and-operated station KTVT (channel 11). The two stations share primary studio facilities located on Bridge Street (off of I-30), east of downtown Fort Worth; KTXA's advertising sales offices are located at CBS Tower on North Central Expressway (north of NorthPark Mall) in Dallas; KTXA maintains transmitter facilities located south of Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill.
The UHF channel 21 allocation in the Dallas-Fort Worth market was originally occupied by KFWT, an independent station licensed to Fort Worth that signed on the air on September 19, 1967; the station was owned by W. C. Windson, owner of radio station (once sister station KJIM (870 AM, now KFJZ) had been sold to Tracy Locke Advertising in 1966) and KFWT-FM (102.1, now KDGE). KFWT (102.1 FM) featured an Easy Listening format. It was the first UHF television station to sign on in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. Broadcasting nightly from 6:00 to 10:00, the station's programming consisted mostly of public domain movies. KFWT operated from studios located on Broadcast Hill at 3900 Barnett Street in Fort Worth, adjacent to the studios of WBAP-TV (channel 5, now KXAS-TV) in a transmitter building that was later used as the studios for radio station WBAP (820 AM).
