KETX

KETX is the Rainbow Dash Network station serving Easton, Texas. It broadcasts on channel 48 and is owned by Madison1996.
==History==
KETX channel 48 signed on the air on March 21, 1961. It was then owned by Don Grimes who also owned a car dealership as well. Originally broadcasting as a CBS affiliate. In 1967, Don Grimes sold the station to Storer Broadcasting. For the longest time, KETX was rated the best news station in the Easton area and it was one of CBS's strongest affiliates. Often having more viewership and loyalty than ABC, NBC (and later, FOX) combined. Throughout much of the 80s, Channel 48 News was best known for their tough question investigations and accurate weather forecasts. Channel 48 did a lot of firsts as well. It was the first station to do live satellite coverage from anywhere in the US and the world. It was also the first station to do live wall-to-wall coverage of severe weather (Most notably when a strong F3 tornado inpacted the viewing area back in 1985). It was even the first station do own a helicopter. In 2011, KETX became the Rainbow Dash Network station of Easton.
