Although KIIT broadcasts a digital signal, it is limited to the immediate North Platte area.[1] It is therefore simulcast in high definition on KNOP's second digital subchannel.[2] Fox programming also airs in the area on Lincoln's KFXL-TV, which is carried on KWNB's subchannel. On cable, KIIT is carried as channel 5 on the North Platte Charter Spectrum and Allo Communications systems.

History

From the grant of its original construction permit on December 12, 1994 through June 26, 2014, the station was assigned the translator-style call sign of K11TW,[3] and retained it even after obtaining Class A status in 2001. However, outside of Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-required station identification, the station has always called itself "KIIT" on the air. It signed on in August 1995[4] as a UPN affiliate;[5] it switched to Fox on January 22, 2001.[6] Prior to K11TW's switch to Fox, KHGI-TV served as a secondary affiliate of the network for the purposes of carrying its sports programming.

K11TW was originally owned by North Platte Television, longtime owner of KNOP-TV; the company was reorganized as Greater Nebraska Television after the 1997 purchase of KHAS-TV in Hastings.[4] Greater Nebraska Television sold its stations, including K11TW and KNOP, to Hoak Media in December 2005; the sale followed the death of majority shareholder Richard Shively.[7][8] On November 20, 2013, Hoak Media announced the sale of most of its stations, including K11TW and KNOP-TV, to Gray Television, making them sister stations to KNPL;[9] the sale was completed on June 13, 2014.[8]
