KTNV-TV (Channel 13 analog, 13 digital) is a U.S. television channel located in Paradise, Nevada. It is the ABC station serving the Las Vegas, Nevada area, and is owned and operated by Journal Broadcast Group. Its tower and transmitter is located on Black Mountain next to the tower and transmitter for KLAS. 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.

History

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