Notes:

  • 1. The Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook says KBIM-TV signed on February 26, while the Television and Cable Factbook says it signed on February 23.
  • 2. KREZ was independent station KJFL-TV from 1963 until going dark on March 2, 1964; it returned to the air September 9, 1965 as KREZ-TV, a satellite station of KREX-TV in Grand Junction, Colorado, and remained as such until February 28, 1995. LIN was in the process of selling KREZ to Native American Broadcasting, LLC. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) approved the sale in late May 2011 but Native American Broadcasting has not yet closed on the purchase as of August 2012.

In addition, there are several low-powered repeaters that carry KRQE's programming throughout New Mexico.

Famous quotes containing the words satellite and/or stations:

    Books are the best things, well used; abused, among the worst. What is the right use? What is the one end, which all means go to effect? They are for nothing but to inspire. I had better never see a book, than to be warped by its attraction clean out of my own orbit, and made a satellite instead of a system.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    The only road to the highest stations in this country is that of the law.
    William Jones (1746–1794)
