History
KTVE got launched on Dec 3, 1955 under a group of three owners: Dr. Joe F. Rushton, William M. Bigley and W. C. Blewster under the umbrella of South Arkansas TV Company. The channel was sold to Veterans Broadcasting Company and it started offering color broadcasts in 1961 and the ownership was changed to J. B. Fuqua in 1963. A primary NBC affiliate, it shared the programs of the network with KNOE. KTVE was released to Gray Communications in Dec 1967. The primary affiliation was changed to ABC on Aug 1, 1972.
It for many years worked with two studio facilities once in Monroe and other in El Dorado however, the Monroe office was closed in somewhere in 70s. It returned to its original partner NBC on Dec 6, 1981 while KLAA became an ABC channel. Piedmont Television in 1996 bought KTVE from Gary. The latter returned to the El Dorado/Monroe area not before 2014 following the purchase of KNOE. It took over the operations of KARD in 2002 via an LMA.
