KTVF Channel 11 and KXDF Chanel 13 in Fairbanks signed off on Saturday for the last time. Gray Communications of Altanta, the parent company of the stations, has canceled the local news broadcast.
KTVF and webcenterfairbanks.com now is folded into the Alaska’s News Source in Anchorage, and visitors to that website are redirected.
Gray Television acquired KTVF (NBC), KXDD (CBS) and KFXF (FOX) from Tanana Valley Television Company and Chena Broadcasting, LLC in 2016 for $8 million.
