KHGI-TV

KHGI-TV, channel 13, is the ABC-affiliated television station for most of central and western Nebraska and the northern third of Kansas. The station is licensed to the town of Kearney.

KHGI is owned and operated by Pappas Telecasting Companies. Its programming is also aired on KWNB-TV channel 6 in Hayes Center, which repeats the KHGI signal except for separate commercials. The two stations are known as the Nebraska Television Network (NTV), and operate out of studios in Axtell, just outside Kearney.

Under the Pappas ownership, they are also sister stations of Fox network affiliate KFXL-TV in Lincoln, which Pappas operates under a local marketing agreement.

The station is officially part of the Lincoln/Hastings/Kearney market, but this market has no basis in television reality and is only truly realized on the local satellite feeds. The market only shares two television stations, CBS affiliate KOLN in Lincoln (which operates a satellite, KGIN, in Grand Island) and Fox affiliate KFXL. NTV serves as the ABC affiliate for the western half of the market, while Lincoln and the eastern half of the market are served by a separate ABC affiliate, KLKN. A third ABC affiliate, KETV in Omaha, also has significant viewership in the eastern portion of the market, and all of the Omaha stations are available in Lincoln either over-the-air or on cable. Grand Island, Hastings and Kearney receive NBC from KHAS-TV in Hastings, while Lincoln receives it over-the-air and via cable from WOWT in Omaha (which is owned by KOLN/KGIN's owner, Gray Television). Despite KFXL-TV broadcasting from Lincoln, Omaha's KPTM has long been considered Lincoln's primary Fox affiliate. The market has had no over-the-air CW affiliate since KFXL became a Fox affiliate in 2009. The eastern part of the market, including Lincoln, receives CW programming from Omaha's KXVO. The rest of the market can receive it from out-of-market CW affiliates on satellite packages. Also, until 2009, Pappas operated a cable-only CW affiliate with the fictitious call letters 'KWBL' in the western part of the market; this has since been replaced with the national CW100+ feed.

Recently, KHGI has made moves toward gaining cable coverage on the Lincoln side of the market though has not yet gained a spot on the local Time Warner Cable system in Lincoln. Both KHGI and KLKN are carried on the local DirecTV and Dish Network feeds.
