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:
“In full view of his television audience, he preached a new religion—or a new form of Christianity—based on faith in financial miracles and in a Heaven here on earth with a water slide and luxury hotels. It was a religion of celebrity and showmanship and fun, which made a mockery of all puritanical standards and all canons of good taste. Its standard was excess, and its doctrines were tolerance and freedom from accountability.”
—New Yorker (April 23, 1990)
“Never before has a generation of parents faced such awesome competition with the mass media for their children’s attention. While parents tout the virtues of premarital virginity, drug-free living, nonviolent resolution of social conflict, or character over physical appearance, their values are daily challenged by television soaps, rock music lyrics, tabloid headlines, and movie scenes extolling the importance of physical appearance and conformity.”
—Marianne E. Neifert (20th century)
