KRHD-CD (channel 15) is a low-power, Class A television station in Bryan, Texas, United States, serving the Brazos Valley as an affiliate of ABC. Owned by the E. W. Scripps Company, the station maintains a news bureau and advertising sales office on Briarcrest Road in Bryan;[2] its transmitter is located on US 190 northwest of the city in unincorporated Robertson County. KRHD-CD is a semi-satellite of KXXV (channel 25) in Waco; the stations share network and syndicated programming but have partially split local newscasts and separate local advertising.

The station began as K22DP in 1992 and aired programming from the Video Jukebox Network and American Independent Network. It was acquired by KXXV owner Drewry Communications in 1998 and was relaunched as KRHD-LP, a separate ABC affiliate for the Brazos Valley with the ability to add local programming. In 2001, KXXV began producing a Bryan and College Station–specific newscast for KRHD.

Drewry sold its stations to Raycom Media in 2015; when Raycom merged with Gray Television, KXXV and KRHD were divested and sold to Scripps. Scripps relaunched the Bryan newsroom in 2020 and today produces 22+1⁄2 hours of weekday newscasts for the Brazos Valley.
