KYTX, virtual channel 19 (UHF digital channel 18), is a CBS-affiliated television station serving Tyler and Longview, Texas, United States that is licensed to Nacogdoches. The station is owned by Tegna, Inc. The station is shared with MeTV affiliate KCEB (channel 54), which is owned by London Broadcasting Company. The two stations share studio facilities located near Loop 323 in the southeastern portion of Tyler and its transmitter is located near State Highway 110 in rural east-central Cherokee County (northeast of Gallatin).
The history of CBS in East Texas traces back to the sign-on of the market's first television station, KTVE (channel 32) in 1953; that station shut down due to financial problems in 1955. After KLTV (channel 7) signed on in October 1954, it carried select CBS programming as part of a shared primary affiliation with ABC and NBC (eventually becoming a full-time ABC affiliate in 1984). CBS would not have a full-time affiliate in the Tyler-Longview market until September 1984, when KLMG-TV (channel 51, now KFXK-TV) signed on the air from Longview; KLMG disaffiliated from the network in April 1991 to become the market's Fox affiliate. For the thirteen years that followed, area cable systems had to offer out-of-market CBS affiliates from either Dallas (originally KDFW, then KTVT after the former switched to Fox in July 1995) or Shreveport (KSLA) with most cable systems in East Texas carrying the latter station.
