KBVO-CA is a TeleFutura affiliate in Austin, Texas. It is owned and operated by LIN TV, and sister station to KXAN and KNVA. It broadcasts on UHF channel 51 as a Class A television station.

The KBVO callsign, named after the University of Texas' mascot, "Bevo", was formerly used on channel 42, which is now KEYE-TV.

On February 19, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KBVO-CA will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
