KJTV-CD (channel 32) is a low-power, Class A news-formatted independent television station licensed to Wolfforth, Texas, United States, serving the Lubbock area. It is owned by SagamoreHill Broadcasting alongside Fox affiliate KJTV-TV (channel 34). The two stations are operated under a shared services agreement (SSA) by Gray Television, making them sisters to Gray's duopoly of NBC affiliate KCBD (channel 11) and CW+ affiliate KLCW-TV (channel 22), as well as four other low-power stations—MyNetworkTV affiliate KMYL-LD (channel 14), Snyder-licensed Heroes & Icons affiliate KABI-LD (channel 42), Class A Telemundo affiliate KXTQ-CD (channel 46), and MeTV affiliate KLBB-LD (channel 48). The stations share studios at 98th Street and University Avenue in south Lubbock, where KJTV-CD's transmitter is also located.

History

The station was founded in 2001 as an AccuWeather Channel affiliate. It is unique because it is broadcast on two channels in the Lubbock area, channel 32.1 in HD and is rebroadcast in SD on channel 34.2 of KJTV-TV. Local original programming on the station totals 65 hours per week.

On January 7, 2011, the station's digital channel was licensed under the call sign KJTV-LD. On October 21, 2011, the digital channel changed its call sign to KJTV-CD to reflect its class A status.

The station's analog license was cancelled and the KJTV-CA call sign deleted by the Federal Communications Commission on December 13, 2011. On December 31, 2013, KJTV-CD added WeatherNation TV to the station's second digital subchannel. The channel is known as FOX 34 WeatherNation.
