KTVL , virtuales y VHF digital de canal 10, es un CBS - afiliada a la estación de televisión con licencia de Medford, Oregon , Estados Unidos. La estación es propiedad de Sinclair Broadcast Group . Los estudios de KTVL están ubicados en Rossanley Drive en el noroeste de Medford, y su transmisor está ubicado en la cima del monte Ashland , a 15 millas (24 km) al sur de la ciudad.
Historia [ editar ]
Channel 10 firmó al aire el 3 de octubre de 1961 como KMED-TV , propiedad de Ray Johnson y su compañía, Radio Medford, Inc., junto con la radio KMED (1440 AM). Varios grupos compitieron por la segunda estación de televisión en el área, pero Radio Medford recibió una ayuda sustancial de Bill Smulin, propietario de KTVM (canal 5, ahora KOBI ), quien ofreció espacio a Radio Medford en la torre de KTVM. KMED-TV era una filial de NBC , ya que KMED había sido una filial de radio de NBC desde 1937. También compartía ABC con KTVM.
En 1963, la estación inició un departamento de noticias conjunto con su radio hermana. La radio KMED estableció el primer departamento completo de noticias por radio entre Portland y San Francisco en 1957.
En 1966, la estación se trasladó a una nueva torre en Mount Ashland, que agregó Klamath Falls a su cobertura de nivel de ciudad. Es la torre de transmisión más alta del noroeste del Pacífico . Hasta el día de hoy, el canal 10 es la única estación de Medford que cubre todo el mercado sin una estación satelital de máxima potencia.
KMED-TV compró las primeras cámaras a color en el sur de Oregon en 1968, un año de muchas primicias para la estación. Ese año también vio la primera transmisión remota en vivo del área, los primeros editoriales de televisión y el primer uso de la tecnología de microondas en vivo.
En 1977, KMED se vendió y KMED-TV se convirtió en KTVL . Un año después, la estación retomó algunos programas de CBS después de que KOBI cambiara su afiliación principal a ABC. En 1981, Johnson vendió KTVL a Freedom Communications , marcando la entrada de Freedom en la televisión. Bajo la propiedad de Freedom, KTVL emitió el primer pronóstico del tiempo en color en el sur de Oregon. Mientras tanto, Johnson estaba trabajando en otra estación, que se convertiría en KTVZ en Bend, Oregon .
En 1983, KTVL se convirtió en una filial de CBS y KOBI se cambió a NBC. La programación de ABC no volvería al mercado hasta que KDRV (canal 12) firmó un año después. Kingsley Kelley se desempeña actualmente como gerente general de la estación.
Freedom announced on November 2, 2011 that it would bow out of television and sell its stations, including KTVL, to Sinclair Broadcast Group.[2] On April 2, 2012, Sinclair took over official ownership of the station as shown at their website.[3]
Digital television[edit]
Digital channels[edit]
The station's digital signal is multiplexed:
| Channel | Video | Aspect | PSIP Short Name | Programming[4] |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.1 | 1080i | 16:9 | KTVL-HD | Main KTVL programming / CBS |
| 10.2 | 720p | KTVL-CW | Southern Oregon's CW 11 | |
| 10.3 | 480i | KTVL-CO | Comet TV | |
| 10.4 | KTVL-TB | TBD |
Analog-to-digital conversion[edit]
KTVL shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 10, on June 12, 2009, the official date in which full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate.[5] The station's digital signal relocated from its pre-transition UHF channel 35 to VHF channel 10 for post-transition operations.[6][7]
Southern Oregon CW 11[edit]
On September 18, 2006, The WB and UPN merged to form the new CW Network. KTVL has picked up the affiliation to The CW, and is broadcasting its programming on a digital subchannel. KMFD, Medford's former WB "cable-only" station is the new CW affiliate and has been renamed "Southern Oregon's CW 11". KTVL-DT2 is part of The CW Plus.
Local programming[edit]
News 10 Good Morning[edit]
On January 24, 2011, KTVL added an additional hour to their morning news program. Originally, it was News 10 at 6 a.m. but they changed the start time to 4:55 a.m. dubbing it News 10 Good Morning going head-to-head with competitor KDRV's early morning newscast. The show switched up its format, differing from its competitors to include faster-paced headline style news with more morning weather hits than any other station in Southern Oregon and Northern California. In addition to showcasing the station's strong social media content, with the only station to have smart phone and iPad applications.
Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon (1970–2010) / MDA Labor Day Telethon (2011)[edit]
KTVL was also the only southern Oregon and northern California television station that has continuously broadcast the Jerry Lewis MDA Telethon, benefiting the Muscular Dystrophy Association every Labor Day weekend from 1970 to 2011. (Fellow CBS affiliate KHSL-TV in Chico, California, was the next closest station to do so before broadcasting the program was ceased after 1997 by new ownership.) The local portion of the telethon was hosted by Marvin Rhodes, who was the main host for 35 years, and Donna Hildebrand, who was co-host for over 25 years, until they ended their tenure as main telethon hosts in 2005. Members of the News 10 team including Trish (Borucki) Glose, Kevin Lollis and Libby Dowsett had hosted the telethon at various times until the format was dissolved by MDA in 2012. It is believed to have been one of the most successful local telethon broadcasts in the country.
The most emotional moment came in 2002 when a devastated Rhodes announced that Grants Pass, Oregon resident Ray Dimmick, who battled courageously against ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), had died in December 2001. Dimmick, accompanied by his wife Debra, appeared on the show every year for 10 years despite his condition deteriorating. A tribute video was broadcast in his memory.[citation needed]
With Jerry Lewis' retirement as host of the national telethon and its move from 21½ hours to six hours in 2011, KTVL did air the telethon as usual. On February 10, 2012, MDA announced that the 2012 edition would be cut to three hours in length airing during prime time on Sunday, September 2, 2012. The 2012 edition, renamed the MDA Show of Strength (moving away from its heritage as a telethon), effectively ended KTVL's 41 years of telethon coverage. The special was since picked up by ABC for two years in 2013 and 2014, before being canceled altogether by MDA in early 2015.
After 10[edit]
On June 3, 2006, KTVL launched a new locally produced late night program for young adults called After 10, hosted by Curtis Bartlett and Lindsey Matherly, every Saturday night at 11:30 p.m. It was dubbed as the only locally produced show that delivers news and information on the local music scene, video games, movie releases (in theaters and on video), graphic novels, music videos, viral videos from the internet, and websites.
After 10 was KTVL's attempt to compete against NBC's Saturday Night Live by producing a program for its target audience themselves, instead on relying on syndication. After 10 was being retooled and was expected to be relaunched in the third quarter of 2007, but it never returned to the air.
After various syndicated programs and infomercials aired in the 11:30 p.m. slot, the slot became the home of the weekly Ring of Honor Wrestling show in April 2012 upon the acquisition of the station by Sinclair, which owns the RoH circuit.
News operation[edit]
KTVL broadcasts 22 hours of locally production news each week. It was known as NewsCenter 10 in the late 1970s back when they were an NBC affiliate.[8] The name NewsCenter was used by many NBC-owned and/or affiliated stations to identify their newscasts. After KTVL switched to CBS, the name of the newscast was changed to Channel 10 News.
The news department featured well-known news personalities such as Terry Miller, Hank Henry, George Warren, Leon Hunsaker (also previously of KOBI), Marvin Rhodes, Pete Belcastro, Fred Inglis (formerly of KTVU) and, most notably, Ann Curry (who went on to become host of NBC's Today Show in 2011). The current news director is Chad Hypes.
The newscasts are currently anchored by Trish Glose[9] and David De Rurange at 5:00 p.m., 6:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. The chief meteorologist is Kevin Lollis. Will Maetzold and Jackie Garrity anchor the 5 a.m. newscast News 10 Good Morning with the weather by meteorologist Autumn Robertson. Sarina Sandoval anchors the region's only noon newscast.
KTVL does not currently have a full-time local sportscast as it was dropped in 2009 by management. However, in 2012, hints of a possible return took place as the news team began covering local high school basketball highlights called Friday Night Fastbreaks (KDRV is the only station in the market to continue airing a local sportscast and KOBI does not have a sports department.)
