KNLND

KNLND, virtual and UHF digital channel 26, is a New Line Network owned-and-operated station located in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. The station is owned by New Line Stations, a Time Warner company.
==History==
The station first went on the air on October 1, 1969, originally owned by Armando Snyder. Initially, it was branded as "KDAN 26", or "Channel 26". After being known as "TV26" in the late 1970s, most notably after it was sold to the original Viacom in 1979, it became known as "Metro 26" in 1980. It reverted to the "TV26" brand in the mid-1980s and then, after it was sold to New Line Stations and re-called KNLND in 1988, became "New Line Dallas/Fort Worth". Its local newscasts were originally known as The Metro.
In 2004, New Line's Dallas operations moved into a new digital broadcast facility downtown. The old television facility was 70,000 square feet (6,500 m2). The new facility totals 38,700 square feet. At the same time, master control was consolidated with those of KNLNH in Houston into a single facility presently based at the station's Houston studios.

==News programming==
KNLND currently broadcasts 30 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with five hours and 30 minutes on weekdays, 90 minutes on Saturdays and an hour on Sundays).
"New Line News 26" is broadcast live at 12PM, 4PM, 5PM and 9PM on weekdays from its studios. Hourly 1-minute summaries at :59 past the hour are also produced by New Line 26, and are broadcast in the afternoons and evenings.
In addition, the KNLNH-produced "New Line News Tri-State" airs at 6AM and 10PM on KNLND and KNLNH as well as on WNLNO in New Orleans and KNLNO in Oklahoma City.
A weekly current affairs program, "Affair Metroplex" also airs on Sunday mornings.
As of May 22, 2017, KNLND began broadcasting all live TV news programming originating from its Dallas studios using a control room in Chicago. The technical change has enabled the station to produce its local news in high-definition, the final station in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex to do so.
