KLBK13 is the CBS network affiliate, serving the entire Lubbock, Texas metropolitan area. KLBK13 is owned and operated by Nexstar Broadcasting Group and through a local sales agreement the station also provides services to ABC affiliate KAMC 28 (formerly KSEL), owned by Mission Broadcasting.
The station operates on VHF channel 13 at 316 kilowatts and it broadcasts digitally on UHF channel 40 at 0.96 kilowatts under a Special Temporary Authority, however it has filed a construction permit to increase power to 1,000 kilowatts.
The station began its broadcasting operation as KDUB-TV, founded by the late television pioneer W.D. "Dub" Rogers, Jr, putting the station on the air for the very first time on November 13, 1952. It was the first commercially licensed television station between Fort Worth and Los Angeles. It was also the first commercially licensed television station in a medium to small-sized market. The station later changed its call letters to KLBK in 1961. Originally the station also carried ABC as a secondary affiliation until 1969 when KSEL-TV (now KAMC) became the local primary ABC affiliate. KLBK was acquired in late 2003 as part of the Nexstar Broadcasting Group acquisition of Quorum Broadcasting. KLBK benefits from various service agreements with Mission Broadcasting station KAMC, also located in Lubbock. Both stations enhance their revenue share by utilizing sales projects and inventory management. Nexstar has invested in KLBK’s news gathering capabilities, and the station offers live local Doppler radar. KLBK’s syndicated programming includes Judge Judy, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and the Maury Povich Show. KLBK and KAMC benefit from our operations in other adjacent and similar West Texas markets in Amarillo, Midland and Abilene, and can develop strategic marketing partnerships with regional advertisers. KLBK offers both an analog and digital signal to viewers.
