KHOU Stands for Houston
About us
KHOU 11 has been one of the top-rated CBS affiliates in Texas for over two decades. From broadcasting the first live picture of radar screen during Hurricane Carla in 1961, to becoming the nation’s first digital television station, KHOU 11 has been a leader in local news, information and community involvement for over six decades. KHOU-TV signed on the air March 22, 1953 as KGUL-TV in Galveston. KGUL was owned by a group of Galveston and Houston investors including actor Jimmy Stewart. In fact, it was Stewart’s voice that was first heard on the station. Walter Cronkite was among those presiding over groundbreaking ceremonies in May of 1959 for the new studio facilities. A month later, the station officially changed its call letters to KHOU-TV. On April 20, 1960, the station moved to its present location near downtown Houston. Dan Rather is just one of many former KHOU journalists who went on to work for a network. Rather was KHOU’s news director from 1960 to 1962. He anchored the 6 and 10 o’clock newscasts and hosted a Saturday morning news program. KHOU Stands for Houston is our brand promise to celebrate everyday heroes, hold the powerful accountable and honor the core values of honesty and reliability. For us, 'Stands For Houston' has become more than a marketing slogan. We stand up for people who do the right thing. We celebrate everyday heroes, and honor those who live by their word. We protect our families, neighbors and communities. We expose liars, cheats and villains for what they are. We believe tough times can be overcome by even tougher people. When the chips are down, character and tenacity carry us through. We never give up. Houston is a community of ethnically diverse neighborhoods and a place we're proud to call home. KHOU is part of TEGNA Media, one of the largest most geographically diverse broadcasters in the U.S. To learn more about TEGNA and its subsidiary brands, visit www.tegna.com.

Here’s what Grace White wrote about her recognition from the Texas Veterans Commission: “This was such an incredible honor! Thank you Texas Veterans Commission for stopping by KHOU 11 News this week to recognize the reporting we did last year on a veteran who needed help. Our 5-part series highlighted a then 79-year-old veteran who was in danger of losing his home. The VA credited our reporting when they awarded him additional benefits after finding an error in his file, which dated back decades. Also, thank you to Combined Arms who saw our first story and stepped in to help. It takes a village!”
