KDLA

KDLA is the ABC owned-and-operated station that serves the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area. It broadcasts on channel 13.
== History ==
KDLA signed on the air back on March 13, 1950 and signed on as an ABC affiliate under the original call letters WDAL. WDAL remained under the original call letters until 1972 when the station changed call letters to KDLA possibly due to the fact that most stations in the western half of the US use a "K" in front instead of a "W". KDLA remained as an ABC affiliate up until late 2014 when the fictional tv station realignment occured. KDLA switched affiliations with KDICD to be Dallas' newest FOX affiliate. KDLA only remained as a FOX affiliate for merely 4 months until April 2015 when the station switched back to ABC. KDLA has remained an ABC affiliate ever since.
