KztvKZTV Channel 10, is the CBS affiliate for Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend of South Texas. Its antenna is located in Robstown, to the west of Corpus Christi, and its studios and 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 at the station for 45 Years. The station has also had a reputation over the years of being low-budget and a student training station. This is due to the fact that its previous owner, Vann Kennedy was fiscally conservative, and believed in giving those that wanted the opportunity the chance to learn the proper ins and outs of televsion journalism. The station's newscasts were constantly at 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 and the Operations in Robstown. As time passed, the strain was noticeable in the product and in 1985, a modern production facility was built on Artesian Street in downtown Corpus Christi. In 2002, Eagle Creek Broadcasting bought the station and later in the year debuted a new and more polished product. As of today, the station now has a full compliment of newscasts, slightly higher ratings, and a more up-to-date facility. External link * www.cbs10kztv.com
