KXXV, virtual channel 25 and UHF digital channel 26, is an ABC-affiliated television station serving Central Texas that is licensed to Waco. Its transmitter is located near Moody. It is owned by Raycom Media. The station maintains primary studio and offices facilities located on South New Road in Waco.
KXXV also operates a low-powered, Class-A, digital semi-satellite in Bryan, KRHD-CD channel 40.
KXXV signed on for the first time on March 22, 1985 as an NBC affiliate. The station was originally owned by Central Texas Broadcasting Company, Ltd. Waco was one of the last markets in the nation to gain full service from all three of the traditional broadcast networks. It switched to ABC that fall. Central Texas Broadcasting sold KXXV to Shamrock Broadcasting in 1987. Drewry Communications purchased the station from Shamrock in 1994.
KRHD-CD's call letters are based on the name of Robert H. Drewry, an Oklahoma native and founder of the Drewry Communications Group.
A planned late 2008 sale of the Drewry stations to London Broadcasting fell through due to the late 2000s credit crisis. [1] London Broadcasting subsequently purchased local NBC affiliate KCEN-TV (that station is now owned by Tegna Media). On August 10, 2015, Raycom Media announced that it would purchase Drewry Communications for $160 million. The sale was completed on December 1.
