KTVC (channel 36) is a religious television station in Roseburg, Oregon , United States, affiliated with the Three Angels Broadcasting Network (3ABN). The station is owned by Better Life Television, and maintains studios on Golden Valley Boulevard in Roseburg and a transmitter on Mount Rose northeast of the city.

KAMK-LD (channel 5) in Eugene operates as a translator of KTVC; this station's transmitter is located on Blanton Road.

History [ edit ]

The station began broadcasting on UHF channel 36 on July 18, 1994, under the call sign KROZ. It became a charter affiliate of The WB on January 11, 1995. It changed its calls to the current KTVC on September 4, 1998. 17 days later, the WB affiliation moved to cable-only KZWB , and KTVC affiliated with the then-new Pax TV .

In 2002, the station affiliated with UPN after the network moved from KEVU-LP . Under ownership of Equity Broadcasting , KTVC became an affiliate of Equity's Retro Television Network on September 16, 2006, when UPN ceased broadcasting. A newly created digital subchannel of NBC affiliate KMTR carries The CW , a network created by the merger of UPN and The WB, while KEVU-LP is affiliated with MyNetworkTV , a network from News Corporation , then-parent company of Fox .

On January 4, 2009, a contract conflict between Equity Media Holdings Corporation and RTN interrupted the programming on many RTN affiliates. [2] As a result, Luken Communications restored a national RTN feed from its headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee , with individual customized feeds to non-Equity-owned affiliates to follow on a piecemeal basis. As a result, KTVC lost its RTN affiliation immediately, though Luken vows to find a new affiliate for RTN in the area. [3]

KTVC was sold at auction to Better Life TV on April 16, 2009. [4] Upon the closure of the sale, the station began to air religious programming from new sister station KBLN , including 3ABN programming. [5]

The KTVC calls were previously used on what is now KBSD-TV in Dodge City, Kansas , from 1957 to 1989.

KAMK-LP history [ edit ]

KAMK-LP began as translator station K53EA in 1993, broadcasting The Box and later, MTV2 . In 1996 K53EA began rebroadcasting KROZ which would change to KTVC. On January 1, 1998, K53EA became low power KAMK-LP. Calls reflected owner Gerald D. Kamp's last name.

The FCC has issued a construction permit to move its signal to channel 49, since all stations must abandon channels 52?69.

On January 30, 2012, KAMK-LP switched to digital as KAMK-LD (channel 49), using virtual channel 36.1, to match KTVC's virtual channel. (It is not related to KXOR-LP, a defunct Azteca America station in Eugene that broadcast on UHF channel 36, though that channel carried 3ABN programming in the past.)

The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 18, [7] using virtual channel 36.
