KTNV-TV (Channel 13) is an ABC-affiliated television station licensed to Las Vegas, Nevada which is owned by Journal Broadcast Group and serves as the ABC affiliate for the Las Vegas Valley, southern Nevada and northwest Arizona. The station's studios are based out of nearby Paradise, with the station transmitting from Black Mountain next to KLAS-TV (Channel 8)'s facility.

History

The station was Journal's second television station (and its first television station acquisition outside of Milwaukee), having purchased it in 1979. The station previously transmitted under the KSHO-TV callsign. It changed its callsign to KTNV-TV on March 2, 1980 (the -TV suffix was removed from 1988 to 2009).[1]

Formerly, KTNV transmitted from a tower right outside the station at the intersection of Desert Inn Road and Valley View Boulevard, on the quadruple border of city of Las Vegas, Township of Spring Valley, Township of Paradise, and Township of Winchester. The tower is a unique and visible landmark throughout the Las Vegas Valley.

KTNV has been called: "News 13 Inside Las Vegas", "News 13", "13 Inside Las Vegas", and "Channel 13 News". This was discontinued in 2003 in favor of their current " Action News" campaign.

In 2004, KTNV became the only area TV station to fly its news helicopter at nights for the 11PM newscast. They have since stopped flying the Action Newshawk during the 11pm newscast.

On December 15, 2007 KTNV became the 3rd television station in Las Vegas to broadcast local news in High Definition. The station also unveiled their new digital production facilities and news set on the same day.
