A group of nine Reno residents, headlined byKBET (1340 AM) station manager Robert Stoddard and former KOLO-TV vice president Lee Hirshland, filed on December 22, 1965, for a new channel 2 television station in the city.[2][3] A construction permit was granted on July 27, 1966.[4] After a delay induced by an unsuccessful legal action from KOLO-TV, which sought to block the grant of the permit,[5][6] then an objection by radio stationKNEV to the location of its transmitter site,[7] KTVN signed on the air on June 4, 1967, as an ABC affiliate.[8] It took over the CBS affiliation on May 10, 1972, replacing previous affiliate KOLO-TV.[9]

During the 1970s, the station operated asatellite station, KEKO-TV (channel 10) inElko.[9] KEKO signed on April 18, 1973; it wasoff-the-air from January 24, 1974, to June 27, 1975.[10] On December 23, 1975, Washoe Empire informed theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) that KEKO's transmitter and equipment had been destroyed in a fire; on April 14, 1976, the FCC grantedspecial temporary authority (STA) to Washoe Empire to operate a KTVNtranslator on channel 10 (at the time, Washoe Empire had made no decision about returning KEKO to the air).[11] On April 8, 1977, at the station's request, the FCC canceled KEKO's license effective March 18.[12] Channel 10 in Elko is currently used byKENV-DT, which formerly operated as a satellite ofKRNV-DT until its disaffiliation fromNBC on January 1, 2018; it is now aTBD-operated station.

Sarkes Tarzian bought KTVN from Washoe Empire for $12.5 million in 1980.[13]
