KNVA

KNVA (channel 54) is a television station in Austin, Texas, United States, affiliated with The CW. It is owned by Vaughan Media and operated by Nexstar Media Group, owner of KXAN-TV (channel 36), an NBC affiliate, and KBVO (channel 14), an independent station with MyNetworkTV; Nexstar's Tegna subsidiary owns ABC affiliate KVUE (channel 24). KNVA, KXAN-TV, and KBVO share studios on West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Austin. KNVA's transmitter is on Buckman Mountain Road north of West Lake Hills.

Channel 54 has been managed by KXAN-TV throughout its history. The construction permit was obtained in 1988 by a consortium including former KVUE anchor Ron Oliveira, which added other investors before the station began broadcasting on August 31, 1994. After airing a loop of local weather information for its first four months on the air, KNVA became a general-entertainment station and affiliate of The WB in January 1995. Oliveira anchored a KXAN-produced 5:30 p.m. newscast on the station between 1995 and 1997. He continued to own a stake in the license until 2009, when his shares were acquired by Vaughan.

KNVA became Austin's affiliate of The CW at the network's launch in 2006, also airing MyNetworkTV programs between 2006 and 2009. KXAN reintroduced local news to channel 54 in 2009 with a 9 p.m. newscast, since complemented by an extended morning newscast.
