KFXK (UHF channel 51) is the FOX affiliate station of Longview, Texas. Its East Texas coverage area includes Tyler and Longview. The station is owned by the ComCorp Corporation under the banner of White Knight Broadcasting. Its transmitter is located near New London, Texas.
The station began life as CBS affiliate KLMG-TV on September 1, 1984. KLMG switched its call letters to KFXK and affiliation to FOX in April 1991 leaving the market without a CBS affiliate for 13 years - until 2004 when KLSB moved to low-power channel 53 in order for a new CBS affiliate, KYTX, to sign on.
In 1998, KFXK launched a 9:00 newscast, the first in the market. The newscast focused on the Longview market and was taped at KETK NBC 56's studios in Tyler. It was always recorded at 9:00 regardless of sports broadcasts delaying the airtime. On rare occasions, this led to seeing the same meteorologist on both KFKX and KETK simultaneously, despite the impression that KFXK's news was live on such nights. The newscast did not fare as well as the station had hoped, and only lasted a few short months.
KFXK launched a full power digital television feed on UHF channel 31 on July 30, 2006. The digital signal carries KLPN 58, MyNetworkTV, as a digital subchannel (31.2). KFXK began testing an HDTV signal on Friday, October 20, 2006, with a full HDTV signal going live on Wednesday, October 25. The signal appeared on SuddenLink Digital Cable systems on channel 705.
