KBGH is an educational television station serving the surrounding the Magic Valley area of Idaho. It provides over-the-air service on analog channel 19 from its transmitter on Flat Top Butte near Jerome. Licensed in Filer, Idaho, KBGH is owned and operated by College of Southern Idaho of Twin Falls, Idaho and exists strictly as a means of providing telecourses and distance learning.
[edit] History
An original construction permit for a full-service station was granted to the College of Southern Idaho on November 3, 1992. Its original callsign was the application ID, 920210KE, but changed to KBGH on May 14, 1993. Although it was to be a full-service station, its permit specified a low-power 75.9 kW ERP signal. The station commenced broadcasting July 6, 1999.
KBGH was granted a Construction Permit to construct a digital television station on channel 18, on February 22, 2001; however, this station is not operating. The College of Southern Idaho has elected not to transition KBGH to a digital facility, and consequently, KBGH will completely cease operations on or before February 17, 2009.[1] It is unknown at present if CSI has alternate means for their telecourse services.
[edit] Programming
The College of Southern Idaho uses KBGH solely as a means of delivering telecourses to students. When the station is not broadcasting a telecourse, it has no programming at all -- only a blank picture is transmitted [2].
