On October 16, 1962, KTXT-TV broadcasted its first programs at Texas Tech’s non-commercial television station. An open circuit,
noncommercial, educational television station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission to the Board of Regents of Texas Tech
University, KTXT-TV (Channel 5) is staffed and operated by the Educational Television Department of the Division of Continuing
Education. The offices are housed on the southwestern part of campus, near the 817-foot broadcast tower. Its mission is "to serve the
public interest, convenience and necessity, and satisfy all federal regulations relating to its staffing, operation, and funding; to
support all aspects of the University, with special emphasis given to curricula and cultural contributions; and to make a positive
contribution to University-community relations throughout the South Plains". KTXT-TV, also referred to as South Plains Public Television,
began digital transmission in the fall of 2002. More information on the station can be found at http://www.ktxt.org/television.htm.
KTXT-FM is a non-commercial, educational radio station operated by Texas Tech University students through the Department of Student
Media and is governed by OP 30.01. Licensed by the Federal Communications Commission on April 1, 1961, it is funded by student service
fees and the School of Mass Communications.
It’s broadcast capabilities increased in 1976 with the donation of $10,000 to purchase a larger transmitter, thus allowing surrounding
counties to receive the broadcasts. In 1999, KTXT 88.1 FM began broadcasting on the internet. The station’s 40th anniversary in March
of 2001 was disrupted when lightening damage shorted its ability to broadcast and caused the station to have financial difficulties in
purchasing a replacement for its damaged 25 year old transmission line. The President’s Office eventually stepped in and found the
funding. 2001 also marked a change in management for KTXT-FM when its longtime advisor, Clive Kinghorn, announced his retirement. The
station was then moved under supervision of the Department of Student Publications, a division of Student Affairs.
