Originally signed on the air on August 10, 1953 as WTVI, a primary CBS affiliate on UHF channel 54 and was initially licensed to Belleville, Illinois. It was also the second television station in the St. Louis market after Pulitzer's KSD-TV (VHF channel 5, now KSDK) on February 8, 1947.

The station moved to UHF channel 36, and relocated its city of license to St. Louis on April 9, 1955, keeping the base "TVI" letters as part of its callsign while flipping the first assigned letter from "W" to "K" with this switch of sides of the Mississippi River, thus changing to the current KTVI.

1957–1963[]

As the FCC would not require television sets to include UHF tuners until 1961, on April 15, 1957, KTVI moved to VHF channel 2, something it had attempted to do soon after moving to St. Louis–the channel 2 allocation had been reassigned from Springfield, Illinois under pressure from the Truman Administration, originally done so as not to interfere with CBS-owned WBBM-TV in Chicago.

On August 7, 1995, as part of a multi-station affiliation deal with New World Communications, KTVI switched from ABC to Fox. ABC moved its programming to charter Fox affiliate KDNL-TV on that date.

1996–2006[]

KTVI 1997

In May 1996, KTVI rebranded itself as "Fox 2" for general station promotion and adopted Fox 2 News as the title of its newscasts, becoming among the few New World-owned stations (along with KTBC, WITI, WJBK and WTVT) to adopt network-standardized branding prior to Fox's purchase of the group later that year.

2006–2015[]

KTVI 2

Fox Television Stations sold KTVI and seven other stations to Local TV (operated by Oak Hill Capital Partners) on December 22, 2007, which the sale was finalized on July 14, 2008. Chicago-based Tribune Broadcasting purchased KTVI outright on July 1, 2013, as part of its $2.75 billion acquisition of Local TV; the sale was finalized on December 27, forming a legal duopoly between KDVR and CW affiliate KPLR-TV.
