A new television station made its debut in Austin August 17, 1953 with the call letters KMMT. It has been telecasting over channel 6 since that first day. The first TV Station Manager, L.L. McCurnin stated in a media release that the KMMT call letters really didn't stand for anything, they were just what the FCC selected from a list of suggested call letters submitted with the station application.
KAAL changed owners again in 1997 when Grapevine Communications, based in Atlanta Georgia, purchased it. Our official name became Grapevine Broadcasting of Austin. Under Grapevine ownership the news department made a transition to a computerized system. This was quickly followed by the close captioning of local newscasts to serve hearing-impaired viewers.
Grapevine Communications sold KAAL TV to GOCOM under the legal name, GOCOM of Austin License sub LLC effective January 1, 2000
One year later, Hubbard Broadcasting Inc. purchased KAAL TV from GOCOM effective January 1, 2001. Hubbard Broadcasting now owns all ABC Affiliates in MN including KSTP in Mpls/St.Paul, WDIO in Duluth, KAAL in Austin plus ABC satellite stations in Alexandria and Redwood Falls. KAAL's license is listed as KAAL TV LLC.
