KTXD-TV, virtual channel 47 (UHF digital channel 47-1), is an independent television station serving the Dallas–Fort Worth Metroplex that is licensed to Greenville, Texas, United States. It serves as the flagship station of the London Broadcasting Company. KTXD maintains studio facilities and offices located on Dallas Parkway (west of the Dallas North Tollway) in Addison, and its transmitter is located south of Belt Line Road in Cedar Hill. On cable, the station is available on Charter Communications channel 24 (channel 22 in some areas) and in high definition on HD channels 24 and 1289 and Verizon FiOS channels 18 and 518.
This station first signed on the air on April 1, 1994 as KTAQ. During its early years, the station carried programming from shopping networks such as The Jewelry Network and Shop at Home. In 2000, the station affiliated with the America's Collectibles Network, though most of the shopping programming was relegated to the nighttime hours. In 2004, the station switched to ShopNBC. In late 2006, KTAQ switched to a 24-hour religious programming format as the flagship station of the Promiseland Television Network after being acquired by Promiseland founder Mike Simons (through Simons Broadcasting, LP).
