KVCT is a television station in Victoria, Texas, broadcasting locally on channel 19 as a Fox affiliate.
KVCT is part of a combo of six Victoria-area television stations owned by Saga Communications, anchored by KAVU-TV. As a result, it broadcasts a KAVU-produced 9 p.m. newscast each night.
History
In Fall 1969, the station went on the air as KXIX, an affiliate of ABC. It was originally a satellite of KIII in Corpus Christi. In 1976, channel 19 was sold to local ownership and became a separate station.
In 1982 the call letters were changed to KVCT. The station dropped the ABC affiliation and dissolved its news operation in 1989, becoming a religious station, as an affiliate of the TBN network.
In 1994 it dropped TBN to become a Fox affiliate, and entered into a local marketing agreement with KAVU-TV, which has periodically produced newscasts for the station. After an attempt in 1998, local news would not be seen on KVCT until 2002, when the current newscast debuted. Saga Communications, KAVU's owner, would eventually buy channel 19 outright.
Before KVCT took the Fox affiliation, the network was available on cable via either KRIV in Houston or KRRT(Now KMYS in San Antonio.
