KXTV, virtual channel and VHF digital channel 10, is an ABC-affiliated television station located in Sacramento, California, United States. The station is owned by Tegna, Inc. KXTV maintains studio facilities located on Broadway, just south of Business Loop 80 at the south edge of downtown Sacramento, and its transmitter facility (which is shared with KOVR, channel 13) is located in Walnut Grove.
The station first signed on the air on March 19, 1955 as KBET; it was owned by the locally based Sacramento Telecasters. The station originally operated an affiliate of CBS. The station's original studio facilities were located on 7th Avenue in South Sacramento. McClatchy Newspapers, owner of the Sacramento Bee newspaper, and Sacramento Telecasters had long fought over the channel 10 construction permit before the Federal Communications Commission and ultimately in federal court. In 1959, Sacramento Telecasters sold the station to Corinthian Broadcasting and its call letters were changed to the current KXTV (the "X" representing the Roman numeral for its channel number, 10). In 1968, The station moved to its present location at 400 Broadway in downtown Sacramento. Corinthian became part of Dun & Bradstreet in 1971. The A.H. Belo Corporation bought all of Dun & Bradstreet's television stations (except for WISH-TV in Indianapolis and WANE-TV in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which went to LIN Broadcasting) in February 1984.
