KVAL-TV channel 13 is a television station in Eugene, Oregon, USA. It is an affiliate of the CBS network. The station began broadcasting on April 16, 1954.

Owned by Fisher Communications, the station reaches additional viewers in central and western Oregon via co-owned full-powered satellite stations KCBY-TV channel 11 (Coos Bay) and KPIC channel 4 (Roseburg).

[edit] History

KVAL was originally an NBC affiliate, but aired some programming from the other major networks over the years.

Conflicts with NBC ensued when KVAL routinely refused to air shows such as The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo or B.J. and the Bear, instead airing CBS shows turned down by KEZI. As a result of conflicts such as these, NBC affiliated with new sign-on KMTR in 1982, and KVAL formally switched its affiliate status over to CBS.

Fisher Broadcasting purchased the stations from Retlaw Broadcasting (a company owned by relatives of Walt Disney) in 1998.
