History

Prior history of UHF channel 23 in Dallas-Fort Worth

The UHF channel 23 allocation in the Dallas-Fort Worth market had originally been allocated for KDTX. Lakewood Broadcasting (owned by a coalition of local oilmen), who later signed on KGKO (1480 AM, now KBXD) in January 1953, was issued a construction permit to sign on the station in 1952; the station was never built, and the permit was deleted by the Federal Communications Commission in 1955.
