KBRW

KBRW is a CBS affiliate that serves the "Heartland" (composed of Brown, Coleman, Comanche, Eastland, McCulloch, Mills and San Saba counties) of Texas, licensed in Brownwood. It broadcasts on Channel 14.
==History==
KBRW went on-the-air May 14, 1954, as the first television station in the area. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network. It was started by area radio pioneers Michael Farris of Farris Broadcasting in Brady, Marcus Elliott (ancestor of Rober Eliott, Jr.) of Comanche, and Marcus Slevens (great-grandfather of Terry Slevens, owner of KATX and KWBY-FM) of Eastland, who formed Lone Star Heartland Media, Inc. The station has always been an ABC affiliate but also began to carry NBC programming on a secondary basis until 1959 when KCTM (channel 12) signed on the air. Efforts to carve out Brown County from the Abilene television market began in 1956. By fall 1958, Nielsen formed the newly created Brownwood DMA. By Fall 1985, the station swapped affiliations with KTHL (channel 53) after realizing ABC became the lowest rated among the "big three" networks. Lone Star Heartland Media sold the station to Multimedia, Inc. in 1986 which was later acquired by Gannett in 1995 based in Tysons Corner, Virginia. In 2013, Gannett planned to buy Belo Corporation (owner of KCTM) and decided to sell the station to Bayou City Broadcasting (owner of MGM affiliate KHMG, channel 57; and UA affiliate KBWU, channel 60) to comply with FCC rules that one owner should not own two of the top four stations in the market. That being the case, KBRW became the top-rated station since 1989, with KCTM and KTHL battling for second-place while KHMG and KBWU were ranked 9th and 10th respectively.
On May 6, 2019, it was announced that Entertainment Studios, headed by entertainment entrepreneur Byron Allen, would purchase the Bayou City stations (including KBRW and its SSA with KHMA and KBWU) for $165 million. The sale was completed on July 3, 2019, after The World's Funniest Weather was introduced in September 2019. Today, The World's Funniest Weather is still on KBRW.
