KIIT-CD (channel 11) is alow-power,Class A television station inNorth Platte, Nebraska, United States, affiliated with theFox network. It is owned byGray Media alongsideNBC affiliateKNOP-TV (channel 2) and low-powerCBS affiliateKNPL-LD (channel 10). The three stations share studios on South Dewey Street in downtown North Platte; KIIT-CD's transmitter is located onUS 83 in the northern part of the city.Master control and some internal operations are based at the studios ofsister stationKOLN inLincoln.
Although KIIT broadcasts a digital signal, it is limited to the immediate North Platte area.[2] It is therefore simulcast inhigh definition on KNOP's seconddigital subchannel.[3] Fox programming also airs in the area on Lincoln'sKFXL-TV, which is carried onKWNB's subchannel.
From the grant of its originalconstruction permit on December 12, 1994, through June 26, 2014, the station was assigned thetranslator-style call sign of K11TW,[4] and retained it even after obtaining Class A status in 2001. However, outside ofFederal Communications Commission (FCC)-requiredstation identification, the station has always called itself "KIIT" on the air. It signed on the air on August 28, 1995,[5] as aUPN affiliate;[6] it switched to Fox on January 22, 2001.[7] Prior to K11TW's switch to Fox,KHGI-TV served as a secondary affiliate of the network for the purposes of carrying its sports programming.
K11TW was originally owned by North Platte Television, longtime owner of KNOP-TV; the company was reorganized as Greater Nebraska Television after the 1997 purchase ofKHAS-TV inHastings.[5] Greater Nebraska Television sold its stations, including K11TW and KNOP, toHoak Media in December 2005; the sale followed the death of majority shareholder Richard Shively.[8][9] On November 20, 2013, Hoak Media announced the sale of most of its stations, including K11TW and KNOP-TV, toGray Television, making them sister stations to KNPL;[10] the sale was completed on June 13, 2014.[9]
