Eventually, the two stations reached a settlement that allowed KRNT to own 60 percent of the TV station and KSO to own 40 percent. A decision was held up due to issues with the Cowles' ownership of Look magazine. The Cowles family and rival KSO radio (now KXNO, also owned by the Cowles interests until 1942) both applied for the channel 8 construction permit. The calls stood for the papers' nickname in central Iowa, "the R 'n T". It was owned by the Cowles family, publishers of the still-operating Des Moines Register and the now-defunct Des Moines Tribune newspapers, along with KRNT radio ( AM 1350 and the original KRNT-FM at 104.5, which went dark). KCCI started on the air on July 31, 1955, as KRNT-TV, the third television station in Des Moines and the ninth in Iowa. Owned by Hearst Television, the station maintains studios on Ninth Street in downtown Des Moines and a transmitter in Alleman. KCCI (channel 8) is a television station in Des Moines, Iowa, United States, affiliated with CBS.
