History

KLHX began in 1979 as an Independent station running movies, cartoons, sitcoms, westerns, and dramas. Owned by Kennedy Communications, KLHX also aired religious programming from both James Bakker and Pat Robertson. The station originally operated from studios located on Main Street in Junction. At first KLHX was struggling in the market as an independent. Also, they aired CBS, ABC, and NBC programming that is preempted by their respective affiliates. In 1986, the station became a charter affiliate of Fox and changed the name brand to Fox 42. Struggling at first, KLHX's ratings took off after FOX was award the NFC package from the NFL. In 2000, Kennedy Communications sold the station to Royal Communications. In 2003, Royal Communications sold KLHX to Fox Television Stations and made it as a Fox owned-and-operated station. In late 2014, CBS Television Stations announced the purchase of the station (thus making KLPX and KLHX sister stations) and their intent to move the CBS affiliation from KJQX (now an MGM O&O), which was going to be affiliated with QTV. In 2015, the station became a CW affiliate as part of the 2015 US TV broadcast realignment.
