| - KZTV, Ch. 10, is the CBS affiliate for Corpus Christi & the Coastal Bend of South Texas. It's antenna is located in Robstown, to the west of Corpus Christi & it's studios & operations are located on the edge of downtown Corpus Christi. This station was home to Walter Furley, Guinness Book of World Records holder for Longest Duration Newscaster. He was @ the station for 45 years before retiring on May 31, 2002. The station has also had a reputation over the years of being low-budget & a student training station. This is due to the fact that it's previous owner, Vann Kennedy, was fiscally conservative & believed in giving those that wanted the opportunity the chance to learn the proper methods of TV journalism. The station's newscasts were constantly @ the bottom of the ratings, with the exception of the noon news, which was anchored by Walter Furley. Throughout the years, the station's resources were divided between the studios in Corpus Christi & the operations in Robstown. As time passed, the strain was noticeable in the product & in 1985, a modern production facility was built on Artesian Street in downtown Corpus Christi. In 2002, Eagle Creek Broadcasting bought the station & later in the year debuted a new & more polished product. On July 23 2008, Eagle Creek Broadcasting announced that it had sold KZTV to SagamoreHill Broadcasting, with competing station KRIS-TV operating the station. It's unclear what the relationship between the 2 TV stations would be if & when the sale, pending regulatory approval, would be final. Eagle Creek's other station, KVTV in Laredo, Texas is not included in the deal, as SagamoreHill already owns KGNS-TV in that market.
