KSCC-DT3, virtual channel 38.3 (UHF digital channel 19.5), is a MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station licensed to Corpus Christi, Texas, United States. It formerly held the call letters KTOV-LP as a separately licensed low-power analog station on UHF channel 21. Owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, KSCC-DT3 operates as a third digital subchannel of Fox affiliate KSCC (channel 38). KSCC-DT3's parent station maintains studios on South Padre Island Drive in Corpus Christi, and its transmitter is located southeast of Robstown.

KTOV-LP's transmitter was located on Leopard Street in downtown Corpus Christi. Due to its low-power status, it did not operate a digital signal of its own, and there were no plans to convert the station's signal to digital. Additionally, the analog station's broadcasting radius only covered the immediate Corpus Christi area. Therefore, the station was simulcast in 16:9 widescreen standard definition on KSCC-DT3, which eventually became its permanent over-the-air conduit.[1]

KSCC-DT3 continues to utilize the branding of My KTOV from when it was a separate low-power station.

History[]

Before becoming an affiliate of MyNetworkTV, KTOV was a UPN affiliate.

GH Broadcasting announced that it would sell KXPX to London Broadcasting Company, owner of KIII (channel 3), in March 2012.[2] The sale fell through in early 2013, after which GH declared bankruptcy, remaining as debtor-in-possession. In late 2014, the sale of the station to Corpus 18, LLC, a partnership formed by the noteholders of debt of GH and High Maintenance Broadcasting, owners of KUQI and a related business to GH, was finalized. On October 2, 2015, Corpus 18 agreed to sell KTOV-LP, KUQI, and KXPX-LP to Sinclair Broadcast Group for $9.25 million.[3]

KTOV-LP's license was canceled by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on April 3, 2018; its programming is now seen exclusively on KSCC-DT3.
