The main channel was originally a primary CBS station although its single market

and ABC
. In 1968, KTVO switched primary affiliation to ABC but the channel continued carrying a few CBS and NBC shows until 1974. From that point until May 15, 2010, KHQA served as the default analog affiliate on cable with some locations being able pick up its over-the-air signal. KTVO launched this second digital subchannel effectively marking the network's return to the area after a 36 year absence. Like KHQA-DT2
currently, KTVO-DT2 originally offered American One as a secondary affiliate but has since added syndicated programming to its schedule.
in Davenport, Iowa
. Although KTVO is the only local source of newscasts in the market, it shares resources with sister station KHQA to provide additional coverage of the territory.
