KDTX-TV (channel 58) is a religious television station licensed to Dallas, Texas, United States, serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex as an owned-and-operated station of the Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). The station's studios are located at TBN's International Production Center in Irving, and its transmitter is located in Cedar Hill, Texas.

History

The UHF channel 58 allocation in the Dallas–Fort Worth market was initially applied for broadcasting use by the Metroplex Broadcasting Company (owned by Adam Clayton Powell III (son of civil rights activist and congressman Adam Clayton Powell Jr.) and former KDFW (channel 4) anchor/reporter Barbara Harrison) for a television station under the call letters KDIA-TV; the call sign was assigned on January 15, 1985, and was changed to KDTX-TV on July 1.

KDTX-TV first signed on the air on February 9, 1987 (the call letters had previously been used by a radio station on 102.9 FM, now KDMX); it was built and signed on by the Trinity Broadcasting Network. In recent years, KDTX has been considered TBN's second-most important television station (after its flagship station, KTBN-TV in Santa Ana, California), particularly as the Dallas–Fort Worth market has a large religious base. TBN has since moved several of its operations, including some production facilities, to the Metroplex.

Subchannels

The station's signal is multiplexed:
