KOHD is the callsign of a digital-only ABC affiliate broadcasting on UHF channel 51 in Bend, Oregon. KOHD signed on September 9, 2006.

Owned by Chambers Communications of Eugene, Oregon, KOHD will be the first digital-only station to carry a major network affiliation. The station replaced co-owned KEZI in Eugene, as well as KATU from Portland, on some local cable systems.

Initially the station will not have a news department, but plans call for the institution of a full service news department in the spring of 2007. KOHD can be seen on analog channel 9 and digital channel 609 on Bend Broadband, and cable channel 9 in LaPine and Sunriver.

Chambers Communications is in the early stages of constructing an 11,000 square foot facility at Brinson Business Park, on the north side of Bend. The full studio facilities should open in the early spring of 2007.
