KTVD (channel 20) is an independent television station in Denver, Colorado, United States, which has a secondary affiliation with MyNetworkTV. It is owned by Nexstar Media Group alongside CW station KWGN-TV (channel 2), NBC affiliate KUSA (channel 9), and Fox affiliate KDVR (channel 31). KTVD and KUSA share studios on East Speer Boulevard in Denver's Speer neighborhood; KTVD's transmitter is located atop Lookout Mountain (near Golden).
KTVD began broadcasting as Denver's third major independent station on December 1, 1988. Its initial owner, Twenver Inc., sank under the weight of a weak local advertising market and expensive programming purchases and filed for bankruptcy reorganization within two years of launching the station; Twenver's financial issues caused the station's primary programming attraction, Denver Nuggets basketball, to break ties. In 1993, the station was acquired out of bankruptcy by the Chicago-based Newsweb Corporation, which focused the station on entertainment and sports programming with the new UPN network and broadcasts of the Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and Colorado Rockies.
