Founded in 1988, the station is owned by the city's community college, Amarillo College.

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 "artZONE," "A Conversation with Ken Burns" and "Braggin' Rights: The Coors Cowboy Club Ranch Rodeo."

On September 3, 2013, KACV announced its re-branding to "Panhandle PBS".[2]
