==History==
KCNV first opened in Austin on August 9, 1961 as call letters KAST. In September 1981, KCNV swapped affiliated with KJBA and has been a CBS affiliate ever since then. In 1993, the station was sold to Westinghouse Broadcasting, also known as Group W. Under the new ownership, the station began its two years of changes and then ultimately, Group W merged with CBS, and the station went under the KBMA call letters. In 1997, CBS sold KCNV to current owner Media General. The following year, in 1998, CBS and Media General got themselves into a dispute which led the station to air reruns of fine NBC and ABC programming. In 2004, Grant Broadcasting System bought KBMA. In 2006, the station changed hands again and went under the KCNV call letters. On January 27, 2016, Media General announced they would enter an agreement with Nexstar Broadcasting Group. Because, Nexstar already owns CW affiliate KBMC-TV, the new company will be required to sell that station or KCNV to another owner, or better yet, form a duopoly.
