KOTA was not a CBS affiliate during much of the 70s. americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-IDX/70-OCR/1970-08-17-BC-OCR-Page-0033.pdf#search=%22kota%22 states KOTA became a NBC affiliate in 1970, and TV Guide listings from 1974 www.angelfire.com/ne/msittel/Co.html list KOTA as a NBC/ABC affiliate. An Oct. 28, 1978 edition of TV Guide does however show KOTA was a primary NBC/secondary CBS affiliate.InstallLSC (talk) 03:10, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I noticed that the template for Cheyenne-Scotsbluff TV shows 2 ABC affiliates owned by different companies serving the same market: KDUH (a satellite of this station) and KDEV (a semi-satellite of the Casper, Wyoming affiliate). What is the name of this type of situation? --TomStike 01:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

KDEV no longer airs ABC, at the request of KDUH and KMGH. This happens as well in the Lincoln NE market where you will find 2 ABC affilites, the Pappas-Owned (KWNB/KHGI) NTV network and KLKN both owned by different people. Tknab 09:43, 17 September 2006 (UTC)tknab {

History: reference to original Prime Time Access Rule, in 1965?
Third and 4th paragraphs from History section are reproduced below. I read this article, and associated what I have marked up in bold as my time frame reference to the creation of the Prime Time Access Rule. I found that the rule was not in effect until the 1970s when I visited the linked article:

'''In 1965, KOTA took on an unusual "joint primary" affiliation with CBS and ABC, slightly favoring CBS. It was certainly quite a struggle to fit as many network shows as possible onto the schedule, especially in the daytime, so KRSD had to take up some of the slack. But KRSD always had a painfully weak signal which, by 1966, had deteriorated to the point of unacceptability.''' KRSD finally gave up on December 31, 1971.

Fortunately for KOTA, the original Prime Time Access Rule had taken effect by this time, which made it easier for the station to clear shows from both CBS and ABC. From January 1972 until June 1976, KOTA had only PBS station KBHE as a competitor; NBC had to be piped in on cable from KOA-TV in Denver (now KCNC-TV).

My take on the third paragraph leads me to concentrate on the 1965-1966 time frame, with the last sentence being a bit of an historical side note: "KRSD finally gave up on December 31, 1971."

I read in the fourth paragraph with the 1960's time frame in mind and followed the Prime Rime Access Rule link to learn that it did not take effect until the early 1970's. Therefore, I read the story wrong, and in fact the 1971 sign-off date for KRSD is the key to the time frame.

Please consider moving the last sentence from the third paragraph and prepending it to the first sentence of the 4thm paragraph to better establish the reference time frame:

In 1965, KOTA took on an unusual "joint primary" affiliation with CBS and ABC, slightly favoring CBS. It was certainly quite a struggle to fit as many network shows as possible onto the schedule, especially in the daytime, so KRSD had to take up some of the slack. But KRSD always had a painfully weak signal which, by 1966, had deteriorated to the point of unacceptability.

KRSD finally gave up on December 31, 1971, but, fortunately for KOTA, the original Prime Time Access Rule had taken effect by this time, which made it easier for the station to clear shows from both CBS and ABC. From January 1972 until June 1976, KOTA had only PBS station KBHE as a competitor; NBC had to be piped in on cable from KOA-TV in Denver (now KCNC-TV).
