KLUF

KLUF is the FOX affiliate that serves the Lubbock, TX area. It broadcasts on channel 13.

History
KLUF signed on the air back on April 27th, 1985 and signed on as an independent with the call signs KLUB-LP. Owned by Lubbock Broadcasting, the station aired off-network syndicated programming, including airing children's cartoon during the day, and movies throughout the night. KLUB's run as an independent came to an end when in 1986 when they became an affiliate of FOX, being one of the charter members of the station.KLUB-LP also changed the call letters to KLUF-LP. Despite the affiliation switches and the call letter switches, the station still remained Low Powered. Despite their affiliation with FOX, KLUF's ratings remain low because FOX wasn't well-known until 1993 when FOX acquired the rights to the NFL games. KLUF remained low powered until 1993 when the station upgraded it's station class to full powered. In the year 2000, after 15 years of local ownership, Lubbock Broadcasters sold the station to the Sinclair Broadcast Group which created a duopoly with then-ABC affiliate KVFH (now an NBC affiliate). KLUF remained as a FOX affiliate for nearly 30 years and was not affected by the 2014 fictional tv station realignment.
