KTPN-LP, channel 48, and KLPN-LP, channel 58, are low-powered affiliates of MyNetworkTV based in Tyler, Texas and Longview, Texas, respectively.

From at least 2003 through 2005, those stations, as well as full-powered KCEB, were affiliates of UPN. But in 2005, KCEB and its ownership decided to jump to the then-rival WB network. KTPN and KLPN became independent stations after CBS affiliate KYTX added a second digital signal and added UPN.

In 2006, White Knight Broadcasting, owners of both KTPN and KLPN, decided to affiliate with MyNetworkTV, a sister network of FOX. The network launched on September 5, 2006.

To increase its chances of carriage by local cable operators and satellite providers, the stations are also simulcast on the digital subchannel of FOX affiliate KFXK.
