KYLE-TV, virtual and UHF digital channel 28, is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station located in Bryan, Texas, United States. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, as part of a duopoly with Waco-licensed Fox affiliate KWKT-TV (channel 44). The two stations maintain primary studio facilities located on Woodway Drive in Woodway, Texas (using a Waco address), with KYLE operating a secondary studio located on Broadmoor Drive in Bryan; KYLE maintains transmitter facilities located near Farm to Market Road 2818 on the western outskirts of Bryan.
The station first signed on the air on October 31, 1994, as a satellite station of Fox affiliate KWKT-TV (channel 44) in Waco. The station's purpose was to provide Fox programming to the entire market, as KWKT-TV's signal was unable to reach across central Texas due to signal interference issues experienced by UHF stations operating in areas composed of rugged terrain. The station was purchased by Lafayette, Louisiana-based Communications Corporation of America – which had already owned KWKT since 1990 – in 1996, after it was granted a satellite waiver by the Federal Communications Commission.
