KTTZ TV: Телевидение Луббока и Техасский Технологический Университет

PBS member station in Lubbock, Texas

KTTZ TV (channel 5) is a PBS member television station in Lubbock, Texas, United States. It is owned by Texas Tech University alongside radio stations KTTZ FM (89.1) and KTXT FM (88.1). Operating under the umbrella branding of Texas Tech Public Media, the three outlets share studios at 17th Street and Indiana Avenue on the Texas Tech campus, adjacent to the transmitter tower shared by KTTZ TV and KTTZ FM. In the past, KTTZ TV/KTXT TV has operated under the alternate branding of Lubbock Public Television and South Plains Public Television.

KTTZ TV is an open circuit non commercial educational television station licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). It began broadcasting on October 16, 1962. On January 15, 2012, KTXT TV changed its call letters to KTTZ TV. On August 12, 2019, TTU announced it would purchase and take over the operations of El Paso's KCOS for a token amount of $1,000, in order to preserve the market's access to PBS. All local personnel in El Paso will remain in place under the new ownership, with Texas Tech becoming the licensee and manager of that station, in addition to its existing Lubbock operations.

KTTZ TV (as KTXT TV) shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 5, at 4:30 p. m. on February 5, 2009, four months before most full power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate on June 12. The station's digital signal remained on its pre transition UHF channel 39, using virtual channel 5.
