KACV-TV is a public television station in Amarillo, Texas, broadcasting locally on VHF channel 8 as a PBS member station. Founded in 1988, the station is owned by the city's community college, Amarillo College. KACV-TV is operated on Amarillo College's Washington Street campus, along with sister-station KACV-FM.
Amarillo was one of the last major cities to get its own PBS station; prior to then, viewers in the Texas Panhandle watched PBS either on Amarillo's commercial stations (on a per-program basis), or via cable on Dallas' KERA-TV, OETA from Oklahoma, or New Mexico's KENW.
The station also produces local programming such as the weekly talk show, Face to Face.
The station's digital channel, VHF 8, is multiplexed:
Digital channels
| Channel | Programming |
|---|---|
| 2.1 | KACV PBS-HD |
| 2.2 | V-Me |
The HD service is also carried on the Suddenlink Amarillo cable system.
Several cable systems and translators outside Amarillo carry KACV's signal.
