KPTH is the Fox network affiliate serving the entire Siouxland area, owned and operated by Pappas Telecasting alongside sister station, CBS network affiliate KMEG.

This station operates on analog UHF channel 44 and digital UHF channel 49.

KPTH always had the Fox affiliation since it took to the air on May 9, 1999. However, KMEG-TV was previously affiliated with the Fox network as a secondary with CBS as primary before KPTH's inception.

KPTH carries a MyNetworkTV affiliate on its DT2 sub-channel, which was announced on April 18, 2006. [1]

[edit] Newscast

Since Late 2005, sister station KMEG produced a three-minute weather forecast, Your Weather on KPTH, seen on KPTH weekdays at 12 noon, 3PM and 9PM. In addition, KMEG produced a newsbrief for KPTH, seen following the 9PM weather report.

On October 9, 2006, KMEG launched a 9PM newscast for KPTH, KPTH News @ Nine. A commercial for the program states that it is "Your News, On Your Station, On Your Schedule."
