KABB (channel 29) is a television station in San Antonio, Texas, United States, affiliated with the Fox network. It is owned by Sinclair Broadcast Group alongside NBC and CW affiliate WOAI-TV (channel 4); Sinclair also provides certain services to Kerrville-licensed Roar station KMYS (channel 35) under joint sales and shared services agreements (JSA/SSA) with Deerfield Media. The three stations share studios between Babcock Road and Sovereign Drive (off Loop 410) in northwest San Antonio, with administrative offices in an adjacent building west across its parking lot; KABB's transmitter is located near Elmendorf.
KABB began broadcasting on December 16, 1987. It was the second independent station for the San Antonio market after KRRT (now KMYS). KABB was built by Alamo Broadcasting Company and owned by River City Broadcasting between 1989 and 1996. Under River City, KABB outrated KRRT even though the latter was a Fox affiliate. KABB assumed the Fox affiliation from KRRT in January 1995 and debuted a 9 p.m. local newscast two months later. In 2012, Sinclair acquired WOAI-TV, bringing the city's NBC and Fox affiliates under common operation and a shared newsroom based at what been KABB's studios on Loop 410.
