[edit] History
The station signed on the air in March 1953 as KTTS-TV and was the sister station to KTTS-AM & FM. By the 1960s they would change owners and call letters to KOLR to reflect the station's conversion to color as TV shows and sets were moving away from black & white. They also shared a secondary ABC affiliation with KYTV until 1967 when KMTC signed on. KMTC would later end up becoming KOLR's sister station, Fox affiliate KSFX.
KOLR was acquired by Nexstar Broadcasting Group through its Mission Broadcasting subsidiary in 2003 when Nexstar acquired Quorum Broadcasting.
KOLR began full power HDTV broadcasting on January 19, 2007.
