KFWD (channel 52) is an independent station in the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. Its transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas. Owned by HIC Broadcasting and managed by Belo Corporation, the station runs sitcoms, dramas, movies, talk shows, religious shows, broadcasts of WFAA-TV and a live sports talk show.
In 1988, the station signed on as a Telemundo affiliate. When NBC bought Telemundo and KXTX, they pulled the affiliation from KFWD. KFWD then picked up English programming dropped by both KXTX and KSTR. This station also picks up live Sporting Events (including FC Dallas Soccer) dropped from KLDT.
Belo Corp. has an option to buy KFWD and create a duopoly with ABC affiliate WFAA-TV. As of the early part of 2007, that has not happened. However, Belo does provide advertising sales assistance, certain technical services and facilities to support the operations of KFWD, as well as airing repurposed editions of WFAA's newscasts every evening. Belo also operates KFWD.tv, the station's website, in a visual format similar to all Belo stations.
