Programming
KTVT carries shows such as Inside Edition, Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune, all of which are distributed by corporate cousin CBS Television Distribution, formerly King World Productions.
KTVT is also the 'official station' of the Dallas Cowboys, airing shows involving the team, including the head coach's weekly show, the Dallas Cowboys post-game show and specials, such as the Making of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Calendar and post-season team reviews. In the regular season, however, KTVT will only air the Cowboys if they are hosting an American Football Conference team in the afternoon, in accordance with the National Football League's contract with CBS. KTVT airs such a game every other year on Thanksgiving Day as part of the Thanksgiving Classic - they aired the Miami Dolphins visiting the Cowboys in 2011.
KTVT is one of the few CBS affiliates in the Central Time Zone to carry The Young and the Restless at 11:30 a.m.; most prefer to air it at 11 a.m. as a lead-in to their local noon news. Others which do this are WBBM in Chicago (like KTVT, CBS owned-and-operated), WTVF in Nashville, KOLR in Springfield, MO, and WHBF in Quad Cities, IL-IA. (In the Pacific Time Zone, which follows the Central Time daytime pattern of 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Young and the Restless airs at 11:30 a.m. on CBS-owned KCBS in Los Angeles).

Famous quotes containing the word programming:
“If there is a price to pay for the privilege of spending the early years of child rearing in the driver’s seat, it is our reluctance, our inability, to tolerate being demoted to the backseat. Spurred by our success in programming our children during the preschool years, we may find it difficult to forgo in later states the level of control that once afforded us so much satisfaction.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
