KTVE, UHF analog channel 32, was an independent television station licensed to Longview, Texas, United States, that operated from 1953 to 1955. KTVE was one of the first television stations in east Texas. However, its use of the quickly outmoded UHF, and the arrival of a VHF station in the form of KLTV (channel 7), made continued operation unviable, and the station closed on Christmas Day 1955.
