KSFY-TV is the ABC television affiliate in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It broadcasts on NTSC Channel 13 (analog) and ATSC Channel 29 (digital). Its transmitter is located near Rowena, South Dakota. KSFY is currently owned by Hoak Media Corporation of Dallas, Texas.
Station History
The station debuted on July 31, 1960 as KSOO-TV, the second station in Sioux Falls. It was owned by the South Dakota Broadcasting Company along with KSOO-AM, and took the NBC affiliation from KELO-TV.
In 1970, it bought KXAB-TV in Aberdeen to boost its coverage in the area. The two stations were bought by Forum Publishing Company of Fargo, North Dakota in 1975, and switched their call letters to the current KSFY and KABY. KPRY-TV in Pierre was added a year later.
Forum sold the KSFY stations to Aflac in 1985. Aflac sold its broadcasting division to Retirement Systems of Alabama in 1996, who merged it with Ellis Communications to form Raycom Media. In 2002, Raycom sold the KSFY stations to The Wicks Group of Companies.
Hoak bought KSFY and its satellite stations in July 2006, as well as KVLY-TV and KXJB-TV (LMA with Catamount Broadcasting) of Fargo, ND and KFYR-TV of Bismarck, ND and its satellite stations. The sale was approved by the FCC on November 17, 2006.
