History
KGTS signed on the air back on April 9th, 1960 and signed on as an NBC affiliate. KGTS remained as an NBC affiliate for 9 years until 1969 when KGTS switched affiliations with KYIV. After the affiliation switch, KGTS switched affiliations from NBC to Independent. KGTS remained as an Independent for nearly 30 years until 1995 when KGTS switched affiliations again, this time switching with KYBC to receive the ABC affiliation. KGTS remained as an ABC affiliate for nearly 20 years until late 2014 when the fictional tv station realignment occurred. KGTS switched affiliations once again with KYBC to be an NBC affiliate. KGTS has since remained as an NBC affiliate.
