== History ==
The station signed on January 3, 2016 as Krueger Broadcasting continued it's strategy to acquire stations in top 50 markets, and with the Cowboys having a large fan base in Austin, and with Austin being the 39th market, Krueger wanted a station there. First they negotiated with BeloOne about acquiring KATX, however negotiations quickly fell through, then Krueger Broadcasting quickly negotiated an affiliation contract with Fox and shortly after, Krueger built KOAV and made the station a Fox affiliate. On June 26, 2016, KOAV became the sixth network-owned station in the market after New World Communications sold the station to Fox Television Stations.
