KXVO, virtual channel 15 (UHF digital channel 38), is a CW-affiliated television station located in Omaha, Nebraska, United States. The station is owned by Mitts Telecasting Company; Sinclair Broadcast Group, which owns Fox affiliate KPTM (channel 42), operates KXVO under a local marketing agreement. The two stations share studios on Farnam Street in Omaha, KXVO's transmitter is located in Gretna, Nebraska. ==History== KXVO signed on the air on June 10, 1995 as an affiliate of The WB, which debuted nationally almost five months earlier on January 11 of that year; the station was originally owned by Cocola Broadcasting, but was operated by Pappas Telecasting Companies under a local marketing agreement. Prior to KXVO's debut, WB programming was only available on area cable and satellite providers through Chicago-based national superstation WGN. Cocola would later sell the station to Mitts Telecasting Company in 2000, which retained the LMA with Pappas. On January 24, 2006, CBS Corporation and Time Warner announced that The WB and UPN would cease broadcasting that September and merge their programming to form a new "fifth" network called The CW. The letters represent the first initials of its corporate parents, CBS (the parent company of UPN) and the Warner Bros. Entertainment unit of Time Warner.〔('Gilmore Girls' meet 'Smackdown'; CW Network to combine WB, UPN in CBS-Warner venture beginning in September ), CNNMoney.com, January 24, 2006.〕〔(UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network ), ''The New York Times'', January 24, 2006.〕 In April 2006, KXVO announced an affiliation agreement with The CW, which began airing on the station when the network launched on September 18 of that year. On January 16, 2009, it was announced that several Pappas stations, including sister station KPTM, would be sold to New World TV Group, after the sale received United States bankruptcy court approval. The LMA between KXVO and KPTM continued after the deal was finalized. After KFXL-TV in Lincoln switched from The CW to Fox in 2009, KXVO became that market's default CW affiliate on DirecTV. Since its inception, KXVO has also been carried on cable in the eastern portion of the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney market; cable providers in the western portion of the market carry the national CW Plus feed. The station is also carried as the default CW affiliate for DirecTV subscribers in the St. Joseph market; this continues even though News-Press & Gazette Company (owner of the ''St. Joseph News-Press'') launched low-power Fox affiliate KNPN-LD on June 2, 2012〔(11825/detail.html NPG bringing FOX station to St. Joe ), ''St. Joseph News-Press'', March 19, 2012.〕〔(Fox station to debut on June 2 ), ''St. Joseph News-Press'', May 17, 2012.〕 that also carries CW programming on its sister signal KBJO-LD (effectively an assumption of the Suddenlink Communications-run CW Plus cable channel "WBJO", after News-Press & Gazette acquired the channel and a local cable news channel from Suddenlink prior to KNPN's sign-on). Dish Network does not carry a local CW signal in the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney and St. Joseph markets. Titan TV Broadcast Group announced the sale of most of its stations, including KPTM and the LMA with KXVO (which will remain under Mitts Telecasting ownership after the sale), to the Sinclair Broadcast Group on June 3, 2013. Sinclair announced the closing of the sale on October 3.〔http://sbgi.net/site_mgr/temp/Titan%20close.pdf〕 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「KXVO」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
