Notes:

• 1. KETS' analog transmitter was on the KATV Tower, which collapsed January 11, 2008; it is presently off the air. Its digital transmitter, located at Clear Channel Broadcasting Tower Redfield, remains on the air. A March 5 press release says that a temporary analog transmitter will be installed at the Clear Channel site "during March".[1]
• 2. The Broadcasting and Cable Yearbook says KEMV signed on November 11, while the Television and Cable Factbook says it signed on November 16.
• 3. KETZ is a digital-only station.
