KBTX

:For the real-life CBS affiliate on channel 3, see on Wikipedia.
KBTX (Channel 21) is a television station in Bryan, Texas, serving as the Bryan/College Station outlet for Freenity. It is owned and operated by GloboRB, alongside independent station KGGI-TV (Channel 34), licensed to Brenham, Texas. The stations share studios in the University Park section of College Station.
From 2002 to 2024, KBTX operated as a semi-satellite station of KCEF (Channel 25) in Waco. It simulcasted all network and syndicated programming as provided through its parent station, but aired separate commercial inserts, legal identifications, local newscasts, and had its own website. KBTX serves the eastern half of the Waco–Temple–Bryan market while KCEF serves the western portion. The two stations counted as a single unit for ratings purposes. 
In January 2024, KBTX phased out its entire news department and converted as a "pass-through" for the network's national feed. The change was made due to the news department's lowering ratings, decreasing viewership, and occasionally overlapping sister station and network flagship KFRW in Houston.
