KLB-TV

KLB-TV, virtual channel 7, is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Irving, Missouri, United States. It is the flagship television property of the LH Brooks Company, which has owned the station since its inception.
==History==
The station first signed on the air on August 11, 1948; it is the second oldest television station in the state of Missouri and the oldest station in Irving. It was founded by Laura H. Brooks, who was a pioneer in the media business and had owned the Irving Journal. At its inception, the station was an NBC affiliate, owing to its radio sister's longtime relationship with NBC Radio.
In November 1963, KLB-TV became the first station in Irving to broadcast in color.
ABC was the highest-rated network in the United States during the late 1970s; as such, it decided to look for a stronger affiliate in Irving. Its Irving affiliate, K??? (channel 11), frequently traded second place with K???. However, KLB-TV was the #1 market leader despite being affiliated with last-place NBC.
