==History==
Before it went on the air, there were three groups who filed for the channel 10 allocation, but came into a settlement agreement to combine together. The FCC granted the construction to the combined group, called Clarkston Communications, and went on the air as K10CD. The station immediately became an affiliate of NBC as there were no affiliates of the network in the area of that time. The call sign was changed a year later to KQC-TV, using the callsign of the radio station under common ownership of one of the three groups. In 1980, the TV and radio station was sold to Gannett. 
In 1985, Gannett announced they would be selling the radio station to the Stuart family, who was one of the main controlees/groups who controlled Clarkson Communications. The callsigns of the TV station were changed to KQCX.
In the mid-1990's, Fox acquired the rights to broadcast from the NFL's National Football Conference. After signing an exclusive affiliation deal with New World Communications, Fox formed SF Broadcasting in a joint venture with Savoy Pictures. Gannett announced that it would sell KQCX, which was one of six stations to be sold by different broadcasting companies. The sale was approved on December 15th, 1995, and switched it's affiliation to Fox, while KQWL obtained the NBC affiliation.
At the same time, Silver King Communications announced they would acquire Savoy Pictures. The sale of the stations received approval in March 1996, while the rest was approved in November. Silver King, which would eventually become USA Broadcasting, later sold the stations to Emmis Communications.
In 2003, the callsigns were changed to KZTV to reflect on a better branding with it's viewership.
In 2004, Emmis put up all of their TV stations for sale to focus on their radio stations. KZTV was sold to Journal Communications. 
On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation (owner of UPN) and Warner Bros. Entertainment (majority owner of The WB) announced that they would merge the two networks into The CW. In response to that, on February 22, 2006, Fox announced a new network called MyNetworkTV, which was created to compete and also give former UPN and WB affiliates another option than becoming an independent. KZYA became an affiliate with The CW on launch day (now an NBC/The CW affiliate). On July 5th, 2006, KZTV announced they would have a secondary affiliation with MyNetworkTV. The network began operations on September 5th, with the affiliation being on a subchannel.
On July 30, 2014, it was announced that Journal Communications would be bought out by the E.W. Scripps Company, which has owned KQWL since 1997. Since the two stations were in the top four of market viewership, one of the two stations had to be sold. KZTV was put up for auction, with the top bidders being Gannett, Sinclair Broadcast Group, and Meredith Corporation. KZTV was sold to Meredith as the leading bidder.
In 2017, KZTV started branding their promos as "KZTV FOX 10" as an experiment, but it was never used in the newscasts.
On May 3, 2021, Meredith announced that it's local media division would be bought by Gray Television. Although they were able to acquire KZTV, Gray announced it would sell KZTV to Flower Television. The sale was completed on November 17th. After the sale, Flower announced that it would rebrand as "ZTV 10" and "ZTV News". The rebrand took place on January 1st, 2022.
