KRNV-DT, virtual channel 4, is the NBC–affiliated television station for Western Nevada's Truckee Meadows licensed to Reno. It broadcasts a high definition digital signal on VHF channel 7 (virtual channel 4.1 via PSIP) from a transmitter facility shared with KTVN and KOLO-TV on Slide Mountain between SR 431 and I-580 / US 395 / US 395 ALT in Washoe County. The station can also be seen on Charter channel 4 and in high definition on digital channel 784. KRNV-DT is owned by the Intermountain West Communications Company and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group. KRNV studios are based at 1790 Vassar Street in Reno. ==History== The station was founded on September 30, 1962, as KCRL-TV. It aired an analog signal on VHF channel 4 and was the second television station in Northern Nevada. The call letters became KRNV on January 22, 1990. The station has always been an NBC affiliate, although it shared ABC with KOLO-TV until 1967. It signed on KENV in Elko on March 25, 1997, as a semi-satellite, providing Nevada-based programming to part of the Nevada side of the Salt Lake City, Utah market. The station operated another satellite, KWNV channel 7, in Winnemucca, but this went silent on July 1, 2008. On December 19, 2006, KRNV began broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition, making it the first station in the market to do so (although local PBS station KNPB became the first in Northern Nevada to offer digital broadcasts on September 29, 2000). On September 11, 2010, KRNV debuted public affairs show ''To The Point with Anjeanette Damon''. Damon's first guest was Republican Gubernatorial nominee (now Governor) Brian Sandoval. The main guest on her second show was Democratic Gubernatorial nominee Rory Reid. ''To The Point with Anjeanette Damon'' airs Saturdays at 4:30 pm. On November 6, 2010 ''To The Point with Anjeanette Damon'' debuted Nevada statewide broadcast, airing on KRNV, KENV and KSNV until the show finale on November 9, 2013. On November 22, 2013, Sinclair Broadcast Group announced the acquisition of KRNV's non-license assets, for $26 million. Sinclair already owned KRXI-TV and operated KAME-TV in Reno. On December 19, it was announced that Cunningham Broadcasting will acquire the license assets of KRNV and KENV for $6.5 million.〔(Application For Consent To Assignment Of Broadcast Station Construction Permit Or License ).

When the sale closes, Sinclair will control half of those stations. It will also create a situation in which a Fox affiliate is the nominal senior partner in a duopoly involving an NBC affiliate and a "Big Three" station. KRNV became the second station in the country to do regularly scheduled Monday through Friday daily web-only newscasts powered by Google's G+ Hangouts on January 25, 2012. The webcast started at 11:00 am Pacific Time and incorporated people in a news-talk format from all around the world. An on-air show featuring Google+ at 11:00 am debuted September 24, 2012, under the name ''News 4 Forum''. The first ''News 4 Forum'' featured Steve Grove, Head of Community Development at Google+. President Barack Obama did his second Google+ hangout on the ''News 4 Forum'' on the 2012 United States presidential election. 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「KRNV-DT」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
