Excerpt: KETK-TV - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Originally, channel 56 was to have the call letters, KTRG, the initials of the original owner and license applicant.

The station started on March 9, 1987, from studios in Jacksonville, Texas, with its tower near Mt. Selman (between Jacksonville and Tyler). KETK moved to its current building in Tyler in 1993. At one point KETK was owned by the Sinclair Broadcast Group, who acquired the station as part of its purchase of most of the Max Media Properties station group in 1998. In late 2004, Sinclair sold the station to its current owner, ComCorp. In June 2006, KETK owner ComCorp filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

ComCorp said in a press release viewers and staff would see no changes at the station. The company emerged from bankruptcy in late 2007.
