It is owned by Gray Media alongside NBC affiliate KNOP-TV (channel 2) and low-power CBS affiliate KNPL-LD (channel 10).

Contents

Although KIIT broadcasts a digital signal, it is limited to the immediate North Platte area. [2] It is therefore simulcast in high definition on KNOP's second digital subchannel. [3] Fox programming also airs in the area on Lincoln's KFXL-TV, which is carried on KWNB's subchannel.

History

From the grant of its original construction permit on December 12, 1994, through June 26, 2014, the station was assigned the translator-style call sign of K11TW, [4] and retained it even after obtaining Class A status in 2001. However, outside of Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-required station identification, the station has always called itself "KIIT" on the air. It signed on the air on August 28, 1995, [5] as a UPN affiliate; [6] it switched to Fox on January 22, 2001. [7] Prior to K11TW's switch to Fox, KHGI-TV served as a secondary affiliate of the network for the purposes of carrying its sports programming.

K11TW was originally owned by North Platte Television, longtime owner of KNOP-TV; the company was reorganized as Greater Nebraska Television after the 1997 purchase of KHAS-TV in Hastings. [5] Greater Nebraska Television sold its stations, including K11TW and KNOP, to Hoak Media in December 2005; the sale followed the death of majority shareholder Richard Shively. [8] [9] On November 20, 2013, Hoak Media announced the sale of most of its stations, including K11TW and KNOP-TV, to Gray Television, making them sister stations to KNPL; [10] the sale was completed on June 13, 2014.
