KHTV (channel 36) is a television station in Houston, Texas, serving as an affiliate of The CW owned by Adelphia Communications and operated by Clear Channel Communications.

History

KHTV signed on for the first time on March 17, 1963, and was an independent. In 1969, KHTV joined The Station Ident Network (TSIN for short).

New Owners

After years of so-so ratings, it was announced that The Station Ident Network would shut down, and KHTV would have to either find a new network to join or become an independent. Coming into the picture was Adelphia Communications, who was already operating independent station KHPT. Adelphia owns half of MyTV, which already had an affiliate in Houston: KBXX, which was also an Ion Television affiliate. Adelphia decided to make the purchase of KHTV and turning it into an MyTV O&O (owned and operated) and have Clear Channel operate the station. On January 4, 2017, the sale went final, and KHTV moved down the dial to channel 36. With the sale, KHTV became a MyTV affiliate, leaving KBXX as the sole affiliate of Ion Television. On August 14, 2023, KHTV became an independent station. On September 1, 2023, KHTV became an affiliate of The CW, replacing KMYX which went independent by its owner CBS News and Stations.
