==History==
KTVP signed up the air on June 23, 1949, on UHF channel 19, operating as a CBS station, as KSPT-TV; it was owned by Storer Broadcasting, along with KSPT radio (1534 AM and 106.4 FM). It was Parappa Town's first television station to broadcast on the air.
KSPT-TV took over the NBC affiliation on March 6, 1951, taking over KWKP-TV with a CBS affiliate.
This station was changed its call letters to KTVP on September 19, 1956, meaning TeleVision Parappa, and it was returned to the CBS station, swapping back their NBC station to KWKP-TV. The station was moved to VHF channel 2 on April 23, 1962, during an airing of the 1942 movie Casablanca.
In 1975, the Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., a private equality firm in New York, NY, made a deal of acquiring Storer Communications, the deal was successful. Two years later in 1977, KKR sold all of the Storer stations assets to Gillett Communications, along with six sisters stations-CBS affiliates WJBK in Detroit, WTVT in Tampa, WJW-TV in Cleveland, WITI in Milwaukee, WAGA-TV in Atlanta; one NBC affiliate KNSD in San Diego; and one independent station from Boston, WSBK-TV.
On February 17, 1993, New World Pictures sold the Gillett's assets to their company for $100 million and $63 million in debt, due to the bankruptcy, and after the failed attempt to sell the stations to Lorimar-Telepictures in 1986. The purchase was completed on the 25th of May.
