KDFW is the call sign for the FOX affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas market. It is licensed to Dallas and broadcasts on digital channel 35, displayed on tuners as virtual 4. Its sister station is KDFI/digital 36, virtual 27 (MyNetwork TV).
Channel 4 analog signed on in 1949 as CBS affiliate KRLD, the television counterpart to KRLD radio (1080 AM). Their first broadcast, on December 3, 1949, was a telecast of the Notre Dame-SMU college football game. It was the CBS home base for coverage of the John F. Kennedy assassination in 1963. CBS used KRLD's cameras and crew to cover the tragedy throughout the weekend and was there when Jack Ruby shot and killed Kennedy's accused assassin, Lee Harvey Oswald. In 1970 the station changed its call to KDFW and managed then-independent KDFI.
In 1995, KDFW's owner, Argyle, sold the station to New World Communications, who in mid 1994 struck a deal with Fox to turn a number of CBS, ABC and NBC station into high-profile FOX affiliates. Once the deal was in concrete, KDFW switched to FOX on July 1, 1995 and CBS moved to KTVT. Dallas-Fort Worth is one of nine markets where ABC, Fox, CBS and NBC had been on VHF analog channels. As of June 12, 2009, only ABC affiliate WFAA will be physically broadcasting on VHF (digital 9, virtual 8).
