KRWG-TV, digital channel 23 (virtual channel 22), is a Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) member Public television station serving both southeastern New Mexico and nearby El Paso, Texas. The station, which is run by New Mexico State University, signed on the air on June 29, 1973 and is licensed to the Regents of New Mexico State University Las Cruces, New Mexico. Its "News22" is one of the few student-produced broadcasts among United States journalism schools. The station airs on cable channel 4 and HD channel 886. KRWG on channel 4 is not to be confused with the actual TV station KDBC-TV which airs on channel 4 terrestrially but instead it is carried on cable channel 3.

RWG in the call letters are the initials for Ralph Willis Goddard an educator and pioneer broadcaster in Las Cruces. Goddard was an instructor at the college and founded KOB AM the radio station that would later be KKOB Albuquerque, NM. The call letters KRWG were chosen for the FM station that started in 1964 and this TV station that began broadcasting on June 29, 1973.

KRWG-TV is rebroadcast on a network of translators in Silver City, Lordsburg, Cliff-Gila, Truth or Consequences, and other southwestern New Mexico cities.

Analog-to-digital conversion

KRWG-TV shut down its analog signal, over UHF channel 22, on June 10, 2009 (two days before most full-power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate on June 12). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 23.^[2] Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its former UHF analog channel 22.
