'''''Double Up''''' is [[R. Kelly]]'s latest album. The album's first single, "[[I'm a Flirt|I'm a Flirt (Remix)]]" featuring [[T.I.]], and [[T-Pain]] has been gaining momentum on the Billboard Top 40 charts and continues to top radio and video countdown shows including BET's [[106 & Park]].

'''KTXA''' is a local [[UPN]] affiliated [[television station]] serving the [[Dallas]]/[[Fort Worth, Texas|Fort Worth]] [[designated market area]]. With its transmitter in [[Cedar Hill, Texas|Cedar Hill]], KTXA is currently owned by [[Viacom]] and is the sister station of [[CBS]] affiliate [[KTVT]]. Although the station does not carry a regular newscast, it will pre-empt its programming for news coverage from either [[KTVT]] or [[CBS News]] when situations warrant.

Kelly revealed that the album is set to feature guest appearances & production by [[The Neptunes]], [[The Runners]], Mysto & Pizzi, [[Kanye West]], [[Young Jeezy]], [[Snoop Dogg]], [[Rick Ross]], [[T.I.]] & [[T-Pain]]. He explains that due to the success of his current collaborations with rappers like Young Jeezy and Ludacris, he thought, "why not put some of that magic on my album?" Well, Kelly didn't just put some of what he calls "magic" on the album, during the phone recording, he says 70 percent of the record will be up tempo but he assures fans that "there will be some slow jams on there."

==History==

KTXA began broadcasting on [[January 4]], [[1981]], and was owned by Grant Broadcasting. The station ran a general entertainment format of cartoons and sitcoms during the day, while at night it broadcast ON TV, a subscription TV service. By [[1983]], KTXA became a full time general entertainment station which also included old movies and off network dramas.

Grant Broadcasting signed on a similarly formatted station, [[KTXH]], in [[Houston, Texas|Houston]] in [[1983]]. In [[1984]], both KTXA and KTXH were sold to Gulf Broadcasting. Weeks later, Gulf Broadcasting was sold to [[Taft Broadcasting|Taft]] in a group deal.

==Track Listing==

KTXA was a money loser throughout the [[1980s]], but Taft kept strong programming on the station. The company sold its network affiliates to Great American while selling independent stations, including KTXA, to TVX. In [[1989]], TVX was sold as a unit to Paramount Stations Group.

==Trivia==

In the early [[1990s]], KTXA began turning a profit. It was not substantially affected by the [[1995]] affiliation switches but did pick up syndicated Disney cartoons from KTVT along with a few other syndicated shows. In [[1995]], the station became one of the first affiliates of the [[United Paramount Network]].

* R. Kelly says that this will be his best album out of all nine.

In the early days of [[UPN]], KTXA was known as "Paramount 21". In the late 1990s, more first run syndicated talk/reality shows began moving onto KTXA while the amount of sitcoms and cartoons was reduced. Paramount, which merged with Viacom in the early 1990s, would buy CBS in [[2000]]. This made KTXA a sister station to KTVT.
