KCAU-TV (channel 9) is a television station in Sioux City, Iowa, United States, affiliated with ABC and owned by Nexstar Media Group. The station's studios are located on Gordon Drive in Sioux City, and its transmitter is located near Hinton, Iowa.
The first television station in the region, the station began broadcasting as CBS affiliate KVTV in 1953. It was acquired in 1965 by a company that became known as Forward Communications; under Forward stewardship, the station activated a tower, changed its call sign to KCAU-TV and its affiliation to ABC in 1967, and became the leading station in the market through the early 1980s, when it was overtaken by its principal competitor, KTIV. It was owned by Citadel Communications from 1985 to 2014, when it was purchased by Nexstar.
