KNOE-TV, Channel 8, is the CBS affiliate for Monroe, Louisiana. The station is owned by Hoak Media Corporation.
KNOE-TV, along with former sister stations KNOE-FM 101.9 and KNOE-AM 540, were founded by James Albert Noe, Sr. KNOE-TV signed on in in 1953, long after his 5-month term as governor of Louisiana.
KNOE's analog and digital transmitters are located south of Monroe in Columbia, Louisiana. They also operate a low-powered translator station, K18AB Channel 18, in El Dorado, Arkansas.
The station also operates a CW affiliate for the Monroe market, available on cable and on KNOE's digital subchannel.
KNOE 8 News has won numerous state, regional and national journalism awards, including the 2008 Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for News Director Taylor Henry's investigative series on rogue members of the Louisiana National Guard who looted stores they were deployed to protect during Katrina.
In June 2007, it was announced KNOE-TV was being sold to Dallas-based Hoak Media Corporation[1][2][3][4], with the sale closing on October 3 of that year. The family had already sold KNOE-AM to Holladay Broadcasting in November 2006. Currently, KNOE-FM remains under Noe ownership.
