Fant was in the middle of purchasing the Nebraska Television Network (NTV), the region's ABC affiliate. George Singleton, who was intended to become general manager of NTV once the sale was finalized, had already relocated to Grand Island. In July 1993, just as the FCC approved the sale, KTVG sustained flood damage at its site on Engleman Road and was out of service until September, as equipment had to be removed and reassembled; Singleton served as KTVG's temporary general manager and was later replaced by a WNAL-TV employee.
