KCO-TV

KCO-TV, virtual channel 2, is a CBS affiliated television station licensed to La Costa, Mississippi, United States. The station is owned by the Nexstar Media Group. It's also one of a few stations in the United States that uses the "K" call designation east of the Mississippi River, despite being based in Mississippi.
==History==
===Early beginnings===
On May 29, 1948, La Costa Newspapers (run by Collin Howard), owners of the now-defunct La Costa Degree newspaper and KCO radio, filed a construction permit to sign on channel 2. The station immediately began test broadcasts on November 10, 1948; it officialy signed on the air on March 16, 1949.
Channel 2 has carried CBS programming from its debut, an affiliation that KCO-TV inherited from the CBS Radio Network's longtime affiliation with KCO radio, which was the first television station in Mississippi to affiliate with the television network's direct predecessor in 1927 (while the station was transmitting at 760 kHz).
===Sale to Newhouse, then Times Mirror===
On May 26, 1955, Newhouse Communications (now Advance Publications) announced that it would purchase the Degree and KCO-AM-FM-TV for $16 million.
