KTIV (channel 4) is a television station in Sioux City, Iowa, United States, affiliated with NBC and The CW Plus. Owned by Gray Media, the station has studios on Signal Hill Drive in Sioux City, and its transmitter is located near Hinton, Iowa.

Key Information

KTIV was the second television station to be built in Sioux City. It signed on in 1954 as a joint operation between Sioux City radio stations KCOM and KSCJ and was an NBC affiliate from the first day on air, though it also aired some programs from ABC until 1967. Tom Brokaw, later the anchor of the NBC Nightly News and a native of Yankton, South Dakota, got his start in television at the station in the early 1960s. KSCJ's owners, the Perkins Bros. Corp., became the full owners of the station in 1965, a year in which it built its present tower at Hinton as a joint venture with its primary competitor, KVTV (now KCAU-TV).

Black Hawk Broadcasting acquired KTIV in 1974 and opened the station's present studios on Signal Hill three years later. Under the ownership of American Family Broadcasting in the 1980s, KTIV improved its news department and pushed past a once-dominant KCAU-TV to become the highest-rated station in Sioux City, a position it has retained ever since. Quincy Newspapers Inc. acquired KTIV in 1989. Gray Television acquired Quincy in 2021.

History

[edit]

Early years

[edit]

The KCOM Broadcasting Company applied on February 27, 1952, for a new television station on channel 4 in Sioux City.[2] The application was made in anticipation of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) lifting in the near future a years-long freeze on television station grants.[3] Soon after, another group also filed for channel 4: Perkins Bros. Inc., the owners of Sioux City radio station KSCJ and sister to the Sioux City Journal newspaper. In September 1952, the FCC ordered hearings to be held on the competing applicants for channel 4.[4] However, no hearings were held, as the commission worked through a large backlog of competing TV applications. Instead, in December 1953, KCOM and KSCJ combined their applications;[5] the KCOM Broadcasting Company gave KSCJ an option to acquire half the company and agreed to sell off KCOM.[6] The merger of the KCOM and KSCJ applications cleared the way for the FCC to grant a construction permit on January 20, 1954.[2]

Tower construction began in May at a site in Plymouth County,[7] and KTIV affiliated with NBC and ABC. However, the company had yet to announce where its studios would be located.[8] The station put out its first test pattern on September 23[9] and intended to be on air in time for the 1954 World Series, but officials could not establish a link between the studio and transmitter site to air the games, leaving Sioux City's other TV station—KVTV (channel 9)—to air the Series.[10] In order to get the signal past a tree that blocked the way, the height of the microwave antenna had to be raised twice.[11] KTIV went on the air on October 10, 1954, with programming from NBC, ABC, and the DuMont Television Network; it had no local programming, as its studios at 10th and Grandview streets had not been completed.[12] Shortly after signing on the air, KSCJ exercised the option to buy half of KTIV, which the FCC approved in March 1955.[13][2] After the change in ownership, the station increased its effective radiated power to 100,000 watts, the maximum allowed on channel 4, improving reception in rural areas beyond Sioux City; the FCC granted this on May 13, 1955, and the increase took effect five days later.[14] The DuMont network disappeared in September 1955;[15] the station also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network, which began in 1956.[16]

In 1961, KTIV hired Tom Brokaw, a native of Yankton, South Dakota. Brokaw earned $75 a week (equivalent to $783 in 2024) to be a staff announcer and part-time weatherman and newscaster.[17] Brokaw worked at the station while enrolled at the University of South Dakota. From KTIV, Brokaw went on to jobs in Omaha and Atlanta before joining KNBC in Los Angeles in 1966, the first in a series of posts at NBC before later anchoring the NBC Nightly News.[18][19]

Perkins Bros. acquired the remainder of the company from the former KCOM group in 1965, spending $2.2 million.[2][20] Prior to then, Perkins Bros. had been a silent partner, and management duties belonged to Dietrich Dirks, who had founded KCOM.[21] That December, after seven years of joint work and the withdrawal of an objection by KQTV in Fort Dodge,[22] KTIV moved to a new tower near Hinton, Iowa, that it co-owned with KVTV.[23] KTIV then donated its previous 700 feet (210 m) tower to South Dakota Educational Television, which reassembled the mast near Beresford.[24] The station continued to split ABC programs with KVTV until 1967, when KVTV became KCAU-TV and a full-time ABC affiliate, while new station KMEG acquired the CBS affiliation.[25]

Black Hawk Broadcasting and American Family ownership

[edit]

When I started here [in 1976], we were an embarrassment. We used to be located behind the cathedral on 10th Street, we had a pool hall over us, no money and only one news guy.

Mike Beecher, KTIV news director in 1984, describing the situation when he arrived at the station[26]

In November 1973, Perkins Bros. sold KTIV to Black Hawk Broadcasting, which owned television and radio stations in Waterloo and in Austin, Minnesota, for $2.5 million.[27][28] Ground was broken in 1976 on a new studio facility within the Stonesthrow Office Complex,[29] atop Sioux City's Signal Hill. KTIV began broadcasting from the new structure on June 5, 1977; it was the only studio in the area purpose-built for television and was fitted out with electronic news gathering equipment.[30] The facility also aided Black Hawk in its push to expand the station's staff; the station payroll grew from 32 employees in 1974 to 58 in 1978.[31]

Black Hawk Broadcasting merged into American Family Broadcasting, the broadcast division of insurer American Family Corporation (today better known as Aflac), in a deal announced in 1979 and completed in 1980. In the deal, Black Hawk spun off all of its other broadcast stations except KTIV and KWWL in Waterloo to meet FCC ownership limits.[32][33]

Quincy and Gray ownership

[edit]

Quincy Newspapers Inc. acquired KTIV from American Family in 1989. Quincy owned no stations in Iowa, but it did own broadcast properties in Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, and West Virginia, three of which were NBC affiliates like KTIV.[34] At the time, Sioux City was the smallest market in which American Family owned a TV station.[35] To run KTIV, Quincy hired William F. Turner, who had been the general manager at KCAU-TV when Forward Communications owned it and worked in the corporate office of KCAU's then-owner, Citadel Communications; Turner had a long-term friendship with the Oakley family, owners of Quincy Newspapers.[36]

On September 16, 2002, KTIV began broadcasting a digital signal on UHF channel 41.[37] The station continued dual analog and digital broadcasts until it shut down its analog signal on February 17, 2009, the original date for full-power stations to convert to digital service.[38] KTIV continued to broadcast on channel 41, using virtual channel 4,[39] until it switched to channel 14 in 2018 as a result of the 2016 United States wireless spectrum auction.[40]

KTIV assumed ad sales responsibility in 2003 for "KXWB", the local The WB 100+ Station Group station;[41] KCAU-TV had been providing advertising and marketing services to the cable-only service when it launched in 1998.[42] When The WB merged with UPN to form The CW in 2006, KTIV obtained the affiliation and programmed the network on its second subchannel.[43]

In 2021, Gray Television purchased Quincy Media for $925 million.[44][45]

News operation

[edit]

Local news debuted within the station's first year of operation.[14] Ken Wayman, the station's first news director in the 1950s, was also the first reporter to take a still camera into an Iowa courtroom; he won a national award from the Radio Television News Directors Association for his coverage.[46]

For most of the late 1960s and 1970s, KCAU-TV was the dominant station in the market, with a nearly two-to-one ratings lead. It also benefited from being the most accessible ABC affiliate to many viewers in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota, market. However, when ABC moved its Sioux Falls market affiliation from KORN-TV/KXON-TV/KDLT in Mitchell to KSFY-TV in Sioux Falls, this factor disappeared.[47] KTIV had been improving its coverage steadily for several years; most notably, it had hired Dave Nixon (Sr.), a former KCAU anchor, who returned to Sioux City and KTIV after two years with WHO-TV in Des Moines. Dave Nixon's son, Dave Nixon Jr., worked as a weekend anchor at the station while his father presented the weeknight newscasts.[48] Between Nixon Sr.'s hiring and the loss of KCAU's ABC viewership advantage, as well as promotional tactics to increase viewership in outlying communities within the market, KTIV surged past KCAU-TV for first place.[47][26] Dave Nixon Sr. departed in 1990 to start a broadcasting program at Iowa Lakes Community College, but his son returned to Sioux City from Mankato, Minnesota, in 1992 to serve as KTIV's news director.[49] Turner remained with KTIV until his retirement in 1994.[50]

In 1989, KTIV cameras captured the crash of United Airlines Flight 232 in Sioux City. Reporter-photographer Dave Boxum was the only television cameraman positioned to see the airplane hit the ground and explode into a fireball. Footage from the crash was intended as an exclusive for the station and NBC but mistakenly received far wider distribution. To uplink the pictures, KTIV had to use a Conus Communications transponder, inadvertently making the footage available to 135 member stations of Conus when it was intended only for NBC and its affiliates. The footage wound up being widely used, including by KCAU-TV, which obtained it from ABC, and by CBS, which did not have permission.[51]

KTIV expanded its news department in 2023, coinciding with the closing of the newsroom at Sinclair Broadcast Group-owned KPTH. Three KPTH news employees, including former KTIV anchor Larry Wentz, joined channel 4's staff.[52] The station introduced an expanded noon newscast and Saturday and Sunday morning news programs.[53]

History

Early years

KTIV signed on the air on October 10, 1954, as the second television station in , operating on VHF channel 4. The station was established as a between KSCJ-AM, owned by Perkins Bros. Co., and KCOM-AM, with William R. Perkins and Dietrich Dirks leading the effort after their joint application was approved by the FCC in January 1954. Initial operations began from a basement studio at 10th and Grandview Boulevard, utilizing RCA equipment including two black-and-white studio cameras and broadcasting approximately 6.5 hours daily. From its debut, KTIV carried programming from as its primary affiliate, along with secondary affiliations to ABC and the , reflecting common practices among early UHF and VHF stations sharing limited network content. DuMont's affiliation ended in 1955 following the network's collapse, while ABC programming continued as secondary until 1967, after which KTIV focused exclusively on . Local news programming commenced in 1955, with early evening newscasts appearing in station schedules by April of that year. In March 1955, KSCJ exercised an option to purchase half ownership of KTIV, approved by the FCC, increasing Perkins Bros. Co.'s stake in the venture. The station's news operation gained prominence in 1961 when , a student and future anchor, joined as a news reporter, weatherman, and staff announcer, marking an early step in his career from 1960 to 1962. By 1965, Perkins Bros. Co. acquired the remaining interest from KCOM's owners, achieving full ownership of KTIV for $2.2 million. That same year, the station constructed and activated a new 2,000-foot near Hinton, , in partnership with KVTV, significantly enhancing signal coverage across western , eastern , and southeastern .

Black Hawk Broadcasting and American Family ownership

In 1974, Black Hawk Broadcasting acquired KTIV from Perkins Brothers Company, marking a significant transition in the station's ownership as the new owners, based in , expanded their portfolio of television and radio stations across the region. Under Black Hawk's stewardship, KTIV invested in modern infrastructure, breaking ground in 1976 on a new studio facility within the Stonesthrow Office Complex atop Signal Hill in Sioux City. The station commenced broadcasting from this purpose-built structure on June 5, 1977, enhancing production capabilities and operational efficiency in a facility designed specifically for television operations. By 1980, Black Hawk Broadcasting merged with American Family Corporation, an insurer whose broadcast division became known as American Family Broadcasting Group, transferring ownership of KTIV to this larger entity on March 28 of that year. This merger integrated KTIV into a broader network of stations, providing resources for continued development during the decade. Throughout the 1980s under American Family ownership, KTIV focused on strengthening its local news operations, culminating in prominent coverage of major regional events. Notably, on July 19, 1989, the station provided extensive on-scene reporting of the United Airlines Flight 232 crash at Sioux Gateway Airport, where reporter Dave Boxum captured key moments of the emergency response to the DC-10's uncontrolled landing, which resulted in 111 fatalities but also highlighted heroic survival efforts.

Quincy and Gray ownership

In 1989, Quincy Newspapers Inc. acquired KTIV from the Broadcast Group, marking the station's entry into the portfolio of the Illinois-based media company, which at the time owned no other stations in but held broadcast properties in neighboring states. Under Quincy ownership, KTIV launched its on September 16, 2002, operating on UHF channel 41 while maintaining analog broadcasts on VHF channel 4. The station completed its full transition to digital-only broadcasting following the national analog shutdown in 2009 and later relocated its to UHF channel 14 in 2018 as part of the FCC's broadcast incentive auction , which reallocated channels to free up for use. This change allowed KTIV to continue operations with enhanced digital capabilities, including multiple subchannels, while preserving its 4 mapping for viewers. In February 2021, Gray Television announced its acquisition of Quincy Media, Inc., for $925 million in cash, a deal that closed in August 2021 and integrated KTIV into Gray's extensive portfolio of over 140 stations across 102 markets, emphasizing expanded local news and digital content distribution. In 2024, KTIV celebrated its 70th anniversary on air. In 2025, the parent company rebranded from Gray Television to Gray Media. As part of this corporate shift, KTIV benefited from Gray's resources for technological upgrades and content synergies. In 2023, amid the closure of the local newsroom at rival station KPTH (owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group), KTIV expanded its news department by hiring key personnel from the former operation, including news director Diana Castillo, anchor Katie Copple, and multimedia journalist Taylor Deckert, to bolster local coverage and programming depth in the Siouxland region. This expansion aligned with Gray's strategy to strengthen KTIV's role as a primary news source, incorporating additional staff to support extended newscasts and community-focused reporting.

The DuMont affiliation ended with the network's decline and shutdown in 1955, while ABC programming continued on a secondary basis until 1967, when KVTV (later ) transitioned to become the market's full-time ABC affiliate. As the affiliate, KTIV serves the Sioux City designated market area (DMA), which spans 23 counties across northwest , northeast , and southeast , providing network coverage to a regional audience known as Siouxland.

News operation

Overview and expansions

KTIV's news department initiated local broadcasts shortly after the station's launch on October 10, 1954, establishing itself as a key source of information for the Siouxland region. From its early days, the department focused on community-relevant stories, such as the 1954 closing of the Cudahy Packing Plant that impacted 1,700 workers, setting a foundation for comprehensive regional coverage.
