KEGS is a television station in Goldfield, Nevada, serving the Reno, Nevada market as an affiliate of iaTV and RTN on channel 7. The station also has a low-power repeater in the Las Vegas, Nevada market, KEGS-LP, broadcasting locally on channel 63. Like many stations owned by Equity Broadcasting, the stations are operated remotely by satellite; their programming can be seen free-to-air on Galaxy 10R.

[edit] History

The Las Vegas station was founded on January 12, 1993 as K63FD, and later gained the call sign KTVY-LP in 1997. On May 31, 1999, the Goldfield station signed on as KBNX. When Equity acquired the station in 2002, the station was rechristened KTVY-TV to match the station in Las Vegas. Finally, in late May of 2005, both stations changed their call sign to the current KEGS.

Equity Broadcasting currently has a construction permit to move the Las Vegas station to UHF channel 30.
