Johnson Broadcasting, Inc is a privately-owned television broadcasting firm based in Houston, Texas. The company is founded, owned and operated by Douglas R. Johnson (this is not the same Doug Johnson formerly with NBC affiliate KPRC Channel 2 in Houston, Texas).[citation needed]

Company Troubles

On October 16, 2008; Douglas Johnson and this company filed for voluntary Chapter 11 Bankruptcy amid plummeting ad sales and the fact that Johnson Broadcasting owes unsecured creditors more than $3 million. Johnson Broadcasting continues to run as a debtor in possession and two TV stations remain on the air.[1]

In October 2009, it was announced that Johnson Broadcasting may be forced to sell KLDT and KNWS to Una Vez Más Holdings, LLC.[2] The sale of these stations to Una Vez Más was approved by the bankruptcy court on December 29, 2009.[3]
