History

KDFI signed on in 1981 as KTWS-TV with religious shows, public-affairs shows, ABC, NBC, and CBS shows that were preempted by WFAA, KXAS, and KDFW (which coincidentally would eventually become co-owned with KDFI). The station aired some limited local news - anchored by former WFAA anchor Bob Gooding. The station also broadcast public-domain movies during the day. At night, the station ran the Preview, then later VEU subscription TV services. The station was owned by Liberty Television. In August 1984, the station's call sign changed to the present KDFI. The American Broadcasting Company (ABC) operates television and radio networks in the United States and is also shown on basic cable in Canada. ... NBC (an abbreviation for National Broadcasting Company, its former corporate name) is an American television network based in New York Citys Rockefeller Center and is shown on basic cable in Canada. ...

In 1985, KDFI became a general entertainment station for the entire broadcast day. It began running low budget syndicated shows, old cartoons, and B Grade movies. The station continued to run pre-empted network shows as well, and had been able to balance its books.


In 1993, Argyle, which owned KDFW, began running programming on KDFI. KDFI was broadcasting mostly talk shows and newscasts delayed from KDFW.


When KDFW switched to Fox, the newscasts were dropped. KDFI continued the talk format while adding a few cartoons in the mornings and a few sitcoms as well. When Fox acquired KDFW in a group deal, the network moved Fox Kids programming to KDFI. By then, KDFI was a traditional independent station broadcasting cartoons, classic off network sitcoms, syndicated talk/reality shows, and movies. An independent station is a television station that is not affiliated with any network. ...


The station continues this format today, though Fox Kids went to weekends only in 2002 and became FOXBOX (Now 4KidsTV) later in 2002. In 2000, when duopolies in television became legal, Fox bought KDFI outright. 4Kids TV (formerly FoxBox) is a Saturday morning television programming block on the Fox network In January 2002, 4Kids Entertainment entered into a four-year agreement with FOX to lease the networks Saturday morning programming block. ... A true duopoly is a form of oligopoly where only two producers exist in a market. ...


Due to its Fox ownership, KDFI also broadcasts Texas Rangers and Dallas Stars games not carried by Fox Sports Net (with similar production). Major league affiliations American League (1961–present) West Division (1972–present) Current uniform Retired Numbers 26,34,42 Name Texas Rangers (1972–present) Washington Senators (1961-1971) Ballpark Ameriquest Field in Arlington (1994–present) a. ... The Dallas Stars are a professional ice hockey team based in Dallas, Texas. ... Fox Sports Net headquarters in Los Angeles. ...


My Network TV

On February 22, 2006, Fox announced that KDFI would be part of a new primetime network called My Network TV which launched on September 5, 2006. My Network TV is operated by Fox Television Stations, Inc. and Twentieth Television. February 22 is the 53rd day of the year in the Gregorian Calendar. ... 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ... My Network TV (sometimes written MyNetworkTV, and unofficially abbreviated MNT or MNTV) is an upcoming television network in the United States, owned by News Corporation, which is scheduled to launch on September 5, 2006. ... September 5 is the 248th day of the year (249th in leap years). ...


The station began identifying itself on-air as "my27" shortly after the announcement, reflecting the new network's naming conventions. A temporary logo using the circular 27 symbol and the word 'my' was created. The KDFI website changed its slogan to "Shows I Like are on MY27" accordingly. On Friday, July 7, KDFI officially changed its logo to the MyNetwork style four-square 'my 27' on air. My Network ads also began running heavily on this date.


In addition KDFI may carry Fox network programming should it be preempted by KDFW in the event of a local special or an emergency such as a breaking news story.


Prior to this affiliation, KDFI was the only News Corp.-owned station to be an independent, while all other News Corp. stations were affiliated with Fox or UPN. UPN (which originally stood for the United Paramount Network) was a television network in over 200 markets in the United States. ...
