KMAC

**Not related to the real-life 3ABN radio station in Muscatine, Iowa.
KMAC is the TCN affiliate licensed to serve Des Moines, Iowa. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group, as part of a duopoly with CBS affiliate KDTH.
== History ==
KMAC signed on the air on December 15, 1977 as a semi-religious independent station. Church services and other syndicated religious programming was aired from 5 a.m. to noon, with sitcoms, cartoons, and classic movies filling the rest of the schedule. It was owned locally by Mack Simmons, and operated a small studio on East Euclid Avenue in Des Moines. 
In 1988, the station switched to a more general entertainment format; however, religious programming remained on Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings. KMAC also picked up the news program USA Tonight for the 9 p.m. slot. 
The station was purchased by the Sinclair Broadcast Group in 1991, making KMAC a sister station to CBS affiliate KDTH. The latter station began producing a 9 p.m. newscast, NewsChannel 13 at Nine, to air on channel 11. This helped KMAC go up in ratings, and they began adding higher-quality syndicated programming to their schedule.
In 1993, the station began airing programming from the Prime Time Entertainment Network. It rebranded to TV 11, and the 9 p.m. newscast expanded to one hour long.
In 1998, Sinclair announced that two of its independent stations (the other being WMEG in Raleigh), would become affiliates of the Chance Network. The switch happened that October. KMAC rebranded to TCN 11, with the newscast becoming CBS 13 News at Nine on TCN 11. 
In 2001, a two-hour long morning newscast, CBS 13 News This Morning on TCN 11, debuted on the station, as an extension of KDTH's morning newscast. It aired in the 7 to 9 a.m. slot until 2007, when TCN's national morning newscast debuted; it was shortened to one hour at 8 a.m., with the station carrying TNTM live at 6 a.m. Central Time.
Syndicated programming on KMAC includes Full Measure with Sheryl Atkisson, The Wendy Williams Show, and Pawn Stars. The station also carries encores of KDTH original programs Live with Kelly and Ryan and Dr. Phil. In the event of severe weather or breaking news coverage on KDTH, channel 11 will air CBS 13's national or syndicated programming.
