About KDRV ABC12
KTVL, virtual and VHF digital channel 10, is a CBS-affiliated television station licensed to Medford, Oregon, United States. The station is owned by Gray Television, as part of a duopoly with Bend-licensed ABC affiliate KABC-TV (channel 7). The two stations share studios on Rossanley Drive in Medford and transmitter facilities on Mount Ashland.KTVL signed on the air on July 15, 1984, becoming the first full-time CBS affiliate in the Medford–Klamath Falls market. Prior to its sign-on, CBS programming in the area was limited to cable and off-air reception of KVAL-TV in Eugene or KHSL-TV in Chico, California. The station was originally owned by United Broadcasting, a company owned by investor Larry Reynolds and former KVAL-TV general manager Bill Smullin. The station originally operated from studios located on North Phoenix Road in Medford. In 1986, United Broadcasting sold KTVL to Evergreen Media, who in turn sold the station to Raycom Media in 1994. Raycom merged with Gray Television in 2018, making KTVL a sister station to KABC-TV.
