television station inIrving, Texas , serving the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. It is currently owned byUnivision , and broadcasts as aTeleFutura affiliate.History
As KLTJ-TV (Keep Looking To Jesus,) the station ran Christian teaching programming from
Trinity Broadcasting Network from March 1984 to September 1986. The station was then sold to theHome Shopping Network and switched to Shop at Home programs from HSN as KHSX.The
KLTJ call letters were reused twice for stations inHouston, Texas : from 1987 to 1989 on independent channel 57 (nowKAZH ), and since 1989 on channel 22, a Daystar affiliate. (The three stations have no other connection.)Silver King owned the HSN stations, and
USA Broadcasting bought them by 1996. In 1999, USA Broadcasting switched the station to a general entertainment format under the call sign KSTR-TV (Meaning "K-Star") with cartoons, reality shows, sitcoms, talk shows, and movies. During this period, it was the official Dallas/Fort Worth station forDallas Mavericks Basketball .In 2001, USA planned to sell KSTR to ABC-Disney, but
Univision outbid its competition in a close race, thus it was changed to a TeleFutura affiliate in 2002. KSTR's English programming though would move to formerTelemundo affiliateKFWD . All Dallas Mavericks games were moved toKTXA .Former Station Logo(s)
