KBVO, virtual channel 14 ( UHF digital channel 27), is a MyNetworkTV- affiliated television station serving Austin, Texas, United States that is licensed to Llano. The station is owned by Media General, and is a sister station to NBC affiliate KXAN-TV (channel 36); Media General also operates CW affiliate KNVA (channel 54) under a local marketing agreement with owner Vaughan Media.
Master control and most operations of KBVO are shared with KXAN and KNVA at studios located on West Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard between the Clarksville section of Austin and the University of Texas at Austin campus. KBVO's transmitter is located eight miles (13 km) southeast of Llano near the intersection of TX 71 and Llano County Road 307. KXAN operates a bureau for KBVO based in Llano.
The station's signal is relayed on Class A repeater in Austin, KBVO-CD (channel 31), from a transmitter in the West Austin Antenna Farm north of West Lake Hills. The station is available on Time Warner Cable digital channel 1525, Grande Communications channel 18 ( SD) and channel 818 ( HD), AT&T U-verse channels 7 (SD) and 1007 (HD), DirecTV channel 51, and Dish Network channels 51 and 8260.
Despite all three stations having separate programming, KBVO – although it no longer operates as such – is licensed as a semi-satellite of KXAN, and therefore LIN's ownership of KXAN, KNVA and KBVO is not technically constituted as a legal triopoly, which is prohibited under FCC regulations in markets with fewer than 20 full-power stations.
