KXXV (News Channel 25) is a full-power television station in Waco, Texas, serving Central Texas as an ABC affiliate. It is currently owned by the Drewry Communications Group (a family-owned company based in Oklahoma). A planned late 2008 sale of the Drewry stations to London Broadcasting fell through due to the late 2000s credit crisis. [1] London Broadcasting subsequently purchased local NBC affiliate KCEN-TV.
KXXV also operates a low-powered, Class-A, digital semi-satellite in Bryan, KRHD-CD channel 40. KRHD has a small newsroom with several reporters who provide stories for a daily 10pm newscast that is produced by KXXV.
In Waco/Killeen/Temple, KXXV broadcasts on cable channel 5, while in Bryan/College Station KRHD-CD broadcasts on cable channel 9.

KXXV signed on for the first time on March 22, 1985 as an NBC affiliate; Waco was one of the last markets in the nation with full service from all three of the traditional broadcast networks. It switched to ABC that fall.
KRHD-CD's call letters are based on the name of Robert H. Drewry, an Oklahoma native and founder of the Drewry Communications Group.
KXXV's broadcasts have been digital-only since February 17, 2009;[1] the digital signal also offers Telemundo programming on 25.2 and local weather 24/7 on 25.3.
