KDAL

KDAL is the TCN owned-and-operated station serving Dallas, Texas. It is owned by TCN Owned Stations, Inc. 
== History ==
The station signed on the air on August 31, 1998 as a Pax affiliate, although a test pattern with the words PAX DALLAS 8-31 was mistakenly shown for the first 24 hours. On the first day of September 1998, the station truly signed on, broadcasting Pax programming during the evenings. 
The station was purchased by Gannett (now known as Tegna Inc.) in 2005, when Pax shut down. KDAL became an independent station and opened a news department, KDAL-TV News. The newscast was shown every weeknight at 11 p.m. 
In January 2017, Tegna announced it would sell KDAL to The Chance Network later that year. TCN announced plans to expand the news department and rebrand the station as KDAL Dallas, with newscasts being referred to as NewsChannel17, to match with other TCN stations. 
On August 31, 2017, beginning with the program TCN News Early Edition, the station had officially become a TCN O&O. The network had spent the summer hiring new on-air personalities and staff. The station's first local newscast under TCN was NewsChannel17 Breakfast at 4:30 a.m. on that day. 
The station is currently the only TCN O&O to carry Ellen. Other syndicated programming seen on KDAL includes Inside Edition and Family Guy. It has a relatively normal schedule for an owned-and-operated station of the network. However, one oddity is that it carries its local sports wrap-up show Sundays at 5:30 p.m. (all other O&O's air theirs after the Sunday late news).
