  • KTBS began broadcasting on September 3], 1955 as a primary NBC affiliate, sharing ABC with KSLA-TV. In 1960, Shreveport and Texarkana were collapsed into a single television market and Texarkana's KTAL-TV (Channel 6) took over the NBC affiliation, leaving KTBS with ABC. Over the years, KTBS has been one of the strongest ABC affiliates in the country airing the entire ABC schedule, with the exception of World News Sunday, which is pre-empted in favor of an hour-long newscast on Sundays at 5 p.m. Along with sister station KPXJ, it is one of the only locally owned and operated stations in the area. KTBS was the home of the Louisiana Lottery drawings from its inception in 1993 to April 2009 when KTAL acquired the rights to the drawings. It has been one of two de facto ABC affiliate (KLAX in Alexandria being the other) for the Monroe area from 1994, when their ABC affiliate, (KARD) switched to Fox, until 1998, when ABC returned to the Monroe area on KAQY. On October 15, 2008, KTBS began broadcasting its newscasts in a 16:9 standard definition widescreen format. KTBS was the first in the market to do-so and, as of June 2010, is the only channel in the market broadcasting news in 16:9 format. As of 2009, it is one of a few television stations still signing off at night. The station signs off on Friday nights/early Saturday mornings at 1:05-4 a.m. and on Saturday nights/early Sunday mornings at 1:45-5 a.m. But instead of the usual sign-off, its weather radar is displayed instead.
