In 1949 May Broadcasting company started KMTV in Omaha, the second-oldest television station in Nebraska. May Broadcasting originally wanted to call the television station KMA-TV. The Federal Communications Commission, however, would not the two outlets to share call letters as the cities of Shenandoah and Omaha were too far apart (61 miles (98 km)). In 1968, May acquired a second TV outlet, KGUN-TV in Tucson, Arizona. May Broadcasting sold both KMTV and KGUN-TV to Lee Enterprises in 1986; both stations are now owned by the E. W. Scripps Company.
