KMEC-TV, UHF analog channel 33, was a television station licensed to Dallas, Texas, United States. The station broadcast in two stints, from 1967 to 1968 as KMEC-TV (owned by Maxwell Electronics Corporation) and in 1972 as KBFI-TV (owned by Berean Fellowship International). The station struggled in both incarnations and was ultimately sold to the Christian Broadcasting Network in 1973. CBN relaunched the station as KXTX-TV that April, but KXTX-TV remained on channel 33 for just seven months; that November, after CBN bought the assets, programming inventory and license of KDTV (channel 39), it moved KXTX to that channel. Channel 33 is now used by KDAF.
