KVIQ is a digital-only broadcast television station which broadcasts as a CBS affiliate on UHF channel 17 from a transmitter in Eureka, California. ==History== KVIQ signed on the air on VHF channel 6 as Eureka's second television station on April 1, 1958. It was owned by Shasta Telecasting, as a satellite station of KVIP-TV (now KRCR-TV) in Redding, California; Shasta Telecasting sold the station to California Northwest Broadcasting in 1960. California Oregon Broadcasting subsequently acquired KIEM-TV (channel 3), which it operated separately from KRCR. KVIQ initially broadcast from studios located on Humboldt Hill Road in Eureka. Since the Eureka market only had two television stations in those early days, KVIQ offered programs from several networks. The station later relocated its studios to a new facility located on Broadway Street in Eureka. By the 1980s, the station was the area's primary NBC affiliate, but it also carried some ABC programs until KAEF (channel 23) went on the air in 1987. The McConnells sold the station to Miller Broadcasting in 1986. Miller Broadcasting sold KVIQ to the Ackerley Group in 1998. Ackerley invested quite a bit of money into its news operations. Ackerley merged with corporate giant Clear Channel Communications in 2002. Not long after this merger, the news operation at KVIQ was quickly abandoned. The station was managed by David Silverbrand with its engineering function performed by James Mixon. Providing operational and sales staff was Sainte Partners II, L.P.. Sainte Partners sold the station in 2014. KVIQ was also available on the radio at 87.7 FM until they ceased the analog channel 6 signal. The Eureka television market (DMA #195)〔(Inside TV Ratings | Nielsen Media Research )〕 was the only TV market in California not available on DISH Network until June 3, 2010, at which time it became available.〔() DISH Network to Become First Pay-TV Provider to Offer Local Broadcast Channels in All 210 Local Television Markets in the United States〕 The Eureka local channels are not yet available on DirecTV. In December 2013, Sainte Partners II reached a deal to sell KVIQ to Redwood Television Partners, a subsidiary of Frontier Radio Management. The sale was completed on June 30, 2014.〔(Consummation Notice ), ''CDBS Public Access'', Federal Communications Commission, Retrieved 2 July, 2014〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KVIQ」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
