KYTX (channel 19) is a television station licensed to Nacogdoches, Texas, United States, serving East Texas as an affiliate of CBS and The CW Plus. Owned by Tegna Inc., the station has studios near Loop 323 in the southeastern portion of Tyler, and its transmitter is located near State Highway 110 in rural east-central Cherokee County (northwest of Ponta).
KYTX began broadcasting as KLSB-TV in 1991. It rebroadcast KETK-TV, initially with local news inserts for the Nacogdoches area. In 2003, it was sold to Max Media, former owners of KETK, and relaunched on a separate basis as the first in-market CBS affiliate for East Texas in 13 years. This included the move of the station's transmitter further north and the launch of a local news department. The station was the setting of the Fox network's shortlived series Anchorwoman in 2007, in part as a promotion gambit for the new station's local newscasts. It was sold in 2007 to London Broadcasting and in 2014 to Gannett, which split its broadcasting assets as Tegna the next year.
