KXXV ("News Channel 25") is a full-power television station in Waco, Texas, serving Central Texas as an ABC affiliate. It is currently owned by the Drewry Communications Group (a family-owned company based in Oklahoma), but is being sold to London Broadcasting, a sale that is expected to be finalized by the end of 2008.

KXXV's digital signal also offers Telemundo programming on 25.2 and local weather 24/7 on 25.3. KXXV also operates a low-powered, Class-A semi-satellite in Bryan, KRHD-LP channel 40. KRHD has a small newsroom with several reporters who provide stories for a daily 10pm newscast that is produced by KXXV in Waco.

In Waco/Killeen/Temple, KXXV broadcasts on cable channel 5, while in Bryan/College Station KRHD-LP broadcasts on cable channel 9.

KXXV signed on for the first time on March 22 1985. Originally an NBC affiliate, it switched to ABC that fall.

KRHD-LP's call letters are based on the name of Robert H. Drewry, an Oklahoma native and former head of the Drewry Communications Group.
