==History==
On June 15, 2000, the Federal Communications Commission granted an original construction permit to founding owner Sage Broadcasting Company to build a full-power television station to serve the Abilene/Sweetwater/Brownwood market. The station was built quickly, with an estimated launch date set for September or October 2000, but inclement weather caused delays in constructing the transmitter tower.〔(Abilene’s new Fox affiliate, KXVA, expected to broadcast next week ), ''Abilene Reporter-News'', January 6, 2001.〕 Several months later than expected, the station first signed on the air on January 9, 2001, under Program Test Authority; it was the fourth full-power television station to sign on in the Abilene market and the first full-power network-affiliated station to sign on in the market since CBS affiliate KTAB (channel 32) debuted in October 1979. KXVA has been a Fox station since its debut, taking over the affiliation from KIDZ-LP (channel 42), which (along with its five translator stations) were also owned by Sage Broadcasting. The station obtained its initial broadcast license on February 13, 2002, more than a year after applying for the license to the FCC.
In 2008, the station was purchased by Bayou City Broadcasting in a group deal for approximately $3 million. On September 27, 2012, Bayou City Broadcasting announced an agreement to sell KXVA and its seven other television stations to the Dallas-based London Broadcasting Company (the sale price initially was not disclosed). The sale marked a temporary exit from the broadcasting industry for the company's owner DuJuan McCoy, who planned on refocusing his company to acquire major network affiliates in mid-sized markets larger than San Angelo and Abilene.〔(Temporary Exit With Fox Duo Sale by McCoy ), ''TVNewsCheck'', September 27, 2012.〕 The FCC granted its approval of the sale on November 14.〔(Extension of Consummation )〕 The sale was completed on December 31.〔(Consent to License Transfer Reassignment )〕
On May 14, 2014, the Gannett Company announced that it would acquire KIDY and five other London Broadcasting stations for $215 million. Gannett CEO Gracia Martore touted that the acquisition would give the company a presence in several fast-growing markets, and opportunities for local advertisers to leverage its digital marketing platform.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tvnewscheck.com/article/76329/gannett-buys-6-london-broadcasting-stations )〕 Both KIDY and Abilene sister station KXVA will be the first Fox affiliates to be owned by Gannett outright; the company had acquired KMSB in Tucson from Belo (as part of a group deal that also included stations in four other Texas markets, Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio) in 2013 – however, KMSB is operated by Raycom Media (owner of that market's CBS affiliate KOLD-TV) under a shared services agreement that was established under Belo ownership, and Gannett could not directly own the station's license due to newspaper cross-ownership restrictions. The sale was completed on July 8.〔(Gannett Completes London Broadcasting Buy ), ''TVNewsCheck'', Retrieved 8 July, 2014.〕 13 months later, on June 29, 2015, the Gannett Company split in two, with one side specializing in print media and the other side specializing in broadcast and digital media. KXVA was retained by the latter company, named TEGNA.
