Cable/satellite Coverage
As the Fox affiliate for the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney market, KFXL is found on nearly all cable systems in the south-central, southwest, central, and north-central parts of Nebraska. However, many small systems in the rural area surrounding Lincoln, including the Zito Media systems in Geneva and Wilber, have opted to instead carry Omaha affiliate KPTM-TV.
KFXL is on Time Warner Cable channel 18 in Lincoln and Crete, channel 5 in Seward and David City, and channel 2 in Fairbury and York. It is also carried on Charter Communications channel 4 in Beatrice, Minden, Cozad, Lexington, Gothenburg, Ord, Kearney, and Grand Island. In Hastings, Charter Communications carries KFXL on channel 3. All of the Charter systems in the Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney market, except Beatrice, also carry the KFXL high-definition signal on a digital tier. Glenwood Communications carries KFXL on channel 17 in Blue Hill. Great Plains Cable Television customers in Hayes Center can find the station on basic channel 29, and in Broken Bow and McCook on channel 4. USA Communications customers in Albion and Central City receive KFXL on channel 7, and in Alma and Red Cloud on channel 4. Three River Telco customers in O'Neill receive KFXL on channel 14, while customers in Ainsworth and Valentine receive KFXL on channel 4. In Thedford, KFXL is on Consolidated Cable channel 4.
Time Warner Cable recently dropped the KPTM HD signal from all of their cable headends within the Lincoln market, in favor of carrying only the KFXL HD signal.
Dish Network carries KFXL on local channels 17 and 7554 across the entire Lincoln-Hastings-Kearney DMA, and DirecTV carries KFXL on local channel 17. The 17 placement is carried over from KTVG, KFXL's predecessor.
During most of 2010, KFXL and KTVG-TV were duplicated on cable systems in southeast and south-central Nebraska; however, in August 2010 Time Warner Cable removed the duplicate channels in order to free up space in their lineup.

Famous quotes containing the words cable and/or satellite:
“To be where little cable cars climb halfway to the stars.”
—Douglass Cross (b. 1920)
“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)
