KPTM is a Fox affiliate licensed to Omaha, Nebraska, seen on channel 42 analog, channel 43 digital. KPTM was the third broadcasting property owned by Pappas Telecasting when it began broadcasting on March 13, 1986 (after flagship KMPH-TV in Visalia, California and WHNS in Greenville, South Carolina). Pappas also owns two other stations in the market, KXVO and KAZO-LP. KPTM's transmitter is located in Gretna, Nebraska.

KPTM today is a typical Fox affiliate carrying the entire programming lineup of the network. Only the 4Kids TV lineup is preempted and instead is aired on sister CW affiliate KXVO.

On September 5, 2006, its DT2 subcarrier began carrying My Network TV programming. My Network TV programming is also seen in Omaha on KKAZ, analog channel 24, which rebroadcasts KPTM's DT2 subcarrier.
