KVUE is the local Austin, Texas-based ABC affiliate, owned by Belo Corporation. Its transmitter is located in Westlake Hills just west of Downtown.

History

It began broadcasting on UHF channel 24 on September 12, 1971 [http://www.kvue.com/aboutkvue/aboutus.html] as a full-time ABC affiliate, inherited from KTBC-TV. KVUE along with NBC affiliate KXAN-TV are the only two stations to keep the same network affiliations, unaffected by the numerous network changes in 1995 and 2006.

KVUE was originally operated by Center Broadcasting Co. of Center, Texas (Tolbert Foster, owner) which sold the station to Universal Communications, the broadcasting arm of "The Detroit News", in 1978. It was acquired by the Gannett Company in 1986 as part of its purchase of "The Detroit News". In 1999, Belo began establishing a Texas-based news network partnership with KHOU-TV in Houston, WFAA-TV in Dallas and KENS-TV in San Antonio upon the creation of a 24-hour cable news network called TXCN -- and when Belo was looking to add KVUE to that partnership later that year, it decided to swap KXTV-TV in Sacramento for KVUE with Gannett.

Before the KVUE of today existed, the calls were originally used on a now-defunct television station in Sacramento, California which broadcast on channel 40; that same channel today is used by Fox affiliate KTXL-TV.

On June 1, 2008, KVUE became the second news broadcast in Austin to go high definition following CBS affiliate KEYE-TV.
