KOLO-TV

KOLO-TV (channel 8) is a television station in Reno, Nevada, United States, affiliated with ABC and The CW Plus.

It is owned by Gray Media alongside Incline Village–licensed low-power Telemundo affiliate KXNV-LD (channel 26).

The two stations share studios on Ampere Drive in Reno; KOLO-TV's transmitter is located on Slide Mountain between SR 431 and I-580/US 395/ALT in unincorporated Washoe County.

However, its signal was marginal at best even in areas close to Reno; Reynolds couldn't get a picture at his home on Lake Tahoe.

It was initially thought to be difficult to maintain, given the heavy snow and high winds that are common on the mountain during the winter.

KOLO also carried Sesame Street for several years, until September 29, 1983, when Reno got a PBS station of its own (KNPB).

On April 20, 2015, KOLO-TV became the first station to offer a 4:30 p.m. newscast in the market after Dr. Oz was moved to an hour-long 2 p.m. time slot after The Queen Latifah Show was canceled and Jeopardy!
