Is that a faint hum you hear? That’s the sound of KVUE-TV, a powerhouse in Austin broadcasting. KVUE-TV first crackled to life on September 12, 1971. This wasn’t just another station. KVUE-TV was Austin’s first full-time ABC affiliate, finally bringing the network’s full program lineup to the city. Before KVUE-TV, residents had to settle for limited ABC shows squeezed into off-hours on other channels. The station has called this spot, near Steck Avenue, home for decades. You might be surprised to know that in 1999, KVUE-TV was part of a surprising trade. Gannett, the then-owner, traded KVUE-TV for KXTV in Sacramento, California, plus a whopping $55 million! This deal brought KVUE-TV under the ownership of the Belo Corporation. Belo was a media giant in Texas, owning stations in major cities like Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio. They had their eyes on Austin, and this trade gave them the missing piece of the puzzle. KVUE-TV has seen it all, from its early days as a local news pioneer to its involvement in national stories. Through the years, KVUE-TV has been a constant presence in Austin. It has brought news, entertainment, and a connection to the world beyond.
