Television
KUCB also operates an 10-watt low-powered television station on channel 8, broadcasting local programming and information, plus a selection of shows from AlaskaOne. While some sources identify the station as K08IW, FCC records indicate that a station with these calls became KIAL-LP on August 5, 2005, with KUCB-LP assigned on August 15, 2008 to Unalaska Community Broadcasting Inc. in Dutch Harbor, Alaska to replace the KIAL-LP calls.
A license as KIAL-LP may have been active as recently as 2008, according to NTIA data, but the FCC's database currently has no record of any television stations using the K08IW, KIAL or KUCB calls, or of any stations operating in Dutch Harbor or Unalaska on TV channel 8. Unalaska's K02HO (a former municipally owned transmitter) and K04KV (an ARCS repeater located at KIAL), are currently both licensed to the Alaska state government.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“It is not heroin or cocaine that makes one an addict, it is the need to escape from a harsh reality. There are more television addicts, more baseball and football addicts, more movie addicts, and certainly more alcohol addicts in this country than there are narcotics addicts.”
—Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)
“They [parents] can help the children work out schedules for homework, play, and television that minimize the conflicts involved in what to do first. They can offer moral support and encouragement to persist, to try again, to struggle for understanding and mastery. And they can share a child’s pleasure in mastery and accomplishment. But they must not do the job for the children.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
“The television screen, so unlike the movie screen, sharply reduced human beings, revealed them as small, trivial, flat, in two banal dimensions, drained of color. Wasn’t there something reassuring about it!—that human beings were in fact merely images of a kind registered in one another’s eyes and brains, phenomena composed of microscopic flickering dots like atoms. They were atoms—nothing more. A quick switch of the dial and they disappeared and who could lament the loss?”
—Joyce Carol Oates (b. 1938)
