It is owned by theNews-Press & Gazette Company (NPG) alongsidelow-power,Class A dualFox/Telemundo affiliateKFXO-CD (channel 39). The two stations share studios on Northwest O. B. Riley Road in Bend; KTVZ's transmitter is located on Awbrey Butte west ofUS 97.

History

[edit]

KTVZ went on-the-air November 6, 1977. It was started by former owners Ray Johnson ofKMED-AM-TV (nowKTVL) inMedford and C. Howard Lane fromKOIN-TV inPortland who formed Ponderosa Broadcasting, Inc. The station has always been an NBC affiliate but also began to carryCBS programming on a secondary basis. Efforts to carve outDeschutes County from the Portlandtelevision market began in 1980. By fall 1981,Nielsen formed the newly created Bend DMA. Sierra Cascade Communications sold the station toStainless Broadcasting Company in 1986 which later became known as Northwest Broadcasting in 1997 based inSpokane, Washington.

By 1997, KTVZ discontinued CBS programming since KOIN in Portland (now seen throughsemi-satelliteKBNZ-LD, channel 7) already had full translator and cable coverage in the Bend area. Later in 2002, Northwest Broadcasting sold KTVZ to the News-Press & Gazette Company. By 2006, they added more network affiliations to the growingCentral Oregon area when The CW was added as a second digital channel. In late 2006, it was announced that Meredith would sell KFXO to the News-Press & Gazette Company which occurred on May 24, 2007.BendBroadband filed a petition withFederal Communications Commission (FCC) to block the proposed sale but it still went through. KQRE-LP was originally a repeater of KTVZ. In January 2007, that station completed a transmitter move that brought it closer to Bend making the rebroadcast redundant. The station then began airing Telemundo's schedule.

Newscasts

[edit]

On June 22, 2007, KFXO's own prime time news at 10 p.m. was replaced by one produced by KTVZ. In September of that year, the station began to air its newscasts in16:9widescreen format. It broadcasts five hours of local news every weekday. It produces a two-hour weekday morning show and nightly hour-long newscast for KFXO.
