KBVO–TV[]

1983–1995[]

KBVO 1983-95

Originally signed on the air on December 4, 1983, as KBVO–TV, Austin's first independent station on UHF channel 42. It was first owned-and-operated by the Austin Television Company, a group of local investors including former congressman Joe Kilgore, but dominated by Darrold Cannan, Jr., owner of KAMR-TV in Amarillo, and Michael McKinnon, who owned two Texas stations (KBMT and KIII) and a third in San Diego (KUSI-TV); local advertising executive Steve Beard was the general manager.

The original die-cut "42" logo incorporated a "lone star" insignia (commonly used in the logos of Texas-based stations such as KXAS-TV, WOAI-TV and KBMT) and an outline of the Texas State Capitol dome within the star's white/negative space (the latter being incorporated into the logo full-time in 1985). Before channel 42 signed on, the UHF allocation was first used by former independent-turned NBC affiliate KHFI-TV until it moved to UHF channel 36 and became KTVV (now KXAN-TV) in 1973.

In October 1994, Austin Television reached a deal to sell KBVO-TV for $54 million to the Granite Broadcasting Corporation, which would affiliate KBVO-TV with CBS, once the network's affiliation with KTBC ends after the Fox affiliation moved to channel 7 as part of an agreement with New World Communications and the network.

On April 1999, CBS Corporation announced that it would acquire KEYE from Granite, the sale was completed in August of that year making channel 42 a CBS owned-and-operated station.
