KFBB-TV
Encyclopedia
KFBB-TV is a full-service television station
in Great Falls, Montana
, broadcasting locally on digital VHF
channel 8 as an affiliate of ABC
. Founded March 21, 1954, the station is owned by Max Media
. KFBB-TV also operates a semi-satellite for the Helena
area, KHBB-LD channel 21 (UHF
). Both stations offer Fox
via their digital subchannels (until 2009, only KHBB did so, as Fox programming in Great Falls was seen on KLMN
) KFBB-TV is also repeated on several translators.
signed on and took the NBC
affiliation in October 1958. KFBB-TV continued to air CBS
and ABC programming as a member of the Skyline Network (as the Montana Television Network
was then called).
At first KFBB-TV was owned by Wilkins Broadcasting along with KFBB radio (1310 AM, now KEIN
), of which The Anaconda Company owned a 27.5% share. Anaconda, through its Fairmount division, controlled most of the major newspapers in Montana (although not the Great Falls Tribune
) and was notorious for manipulating the state's political visions for its own needs. Then in 1959, Anaconda sold its media holdings to Lee Enterprises
of Davenport, Iowa
. Because of anti-trust concerns, Lee decided to sell KFBB. The station was sold in 1962 to Harriscope Broadcasting, which in 1965 scored a deal for a primary ABC affiliation - Montana's first. The new affiliation took effect on February 1, 1966. Harriscope severed KFBB's links with the Skyline Network (which signed up with KRTV), and sold off KFBB radio in February 1969, but continued to run KFBB-TV, eventually selling it to Donald P. Nathanson in 1977. After affiliating primarily with ABC, the station continued secondary affiliation with CBS until that network switched to KRTV in 1969, and then started running NBC on a per program basis as late as December 1986, when KTGF
signed on and took over the NBC affiliation. KFBB also carried Sesame Street
for several years, before Montana had a PBS
service of its own.
KFBB's ABC affiliation allowed it to be carried on cable television
systems in both Alberta
and Saskatchewan
; it even maintained a sales office in Saskatoon, as did Williston
stations KUMV-TV
and KXMD-TV
. This arrangement continued until 1986, when KFBB was largely replaced by a satellite signal from WXYZ-TV
, the ABC affiliate in Detroit.
An April 1981 application with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) requested transfer of control of the licensee corporation from owner Donald P. Nathanson to his estate, following his death. In early 1982, the station saw a flurry of transfers that saw KFBB-TV moved, first from the Nathanson estate to Advance TV of California, then from Advance TV to Wooster Republican Printing Company of Ohio, which would operate the station through various holding companies (e.g., KFBB Corporation, KFBB LLC, Dix Communications).
In June 2003, Wooster Republican Printing made deep cuts in local news production, ending morning, noon and weekend newscasts. It retained KFBB until November 2004, when it was sold to Max Media of Montana. Max Media already owned KTGF in the market, and was forced to sell it in order to purchase KFBB-TV, as the Great Falls market was too small to allow a broadcast duopoly
. In February 2005, Max Media instituted a regional newscast, branded as Montana News Network, which was produced at KFBB. The regional newscast didn't last long. KFBB was then rebranded NewsChannel 5, with a focus on "Live, Local, Late-Breaking Coverage." In addition to the morning weather cut-ins and its weeknight newscasts at 5:30 and 10:00 p.m. newscasts, the station soon added weekend newscasts back to the lineup.
In 2009, KFBB added staff to become the largest news team in central Montana. The newscasts took on a new slogan, "NewsChannel 5 is Everywhere", to capitalize on its reporting strength in Great Falls and its three bureaus. The weather segments took on the identity of "Pinpoint Weather", showcasing the station's award-winning customized forecasts for central and northern Montana. The station also increased its news production on the weekend, adding a 5:30 p.m. newscast, as well as the 10:00 p.m. weekend news already running.
On September 21, 2009, KFBB expanded further, adding a 5:00 p.m. newscast and moving the 5:30 newscast to 6:00 p.m., swapping with ABC World News.
A full page ad in Signature Montana magazine in April 2010 highlighted the fact that KFBB has the most TV newscasts in the evening in the market. KFBB also provides weather updates for the Fisher Communications radio stations in Great Falls (Q106, Star 98.3, The Wolf 104.9, and SAM 107.3).

On August 9, 2006, the FCC granted "flash-cut" authorization to KHBB-LD, meaning that on or before August 9, 2009, analog station KHBB-LP would shut down and digital station KHBB-LD would commence broadcasting on channel 21. On November 27, 2008, KHBB closed its analog signal and began broadcasting in digital, with ABC programming on 21.1, and Fox programming on 21.2. Both subchannels are broadcasting at 720P High Definition.

In 2008, the station began using an on-air logo identical to the former logos of ABC affiliate WEWS-TV

— neither station is related to KFBB.
Of the three full-service television stations in Montana owned by Max Media, only KFBB-TV offers a significant schedule of local news. There are two half-hour local newscasts at 5:00 and 6:00 PM and a 35-minute newscast at 10:00 PM each weeknight, plus half-hour newscasts at 5:00 and 10:00 PM on the weekends.
KFBB also produces a ten minute nightly newscast for Max Media's other ABC Montana stations, KTMF
in Missoula
and Kalispell
and KWYB
in Butte
and Bozeman
. The newscast is called 10@10, and focuses on Montana sports and weather in the first ten minutes.
