KLMN is a television station in Great Falls, Montana, broadcasting locally on channel 26 as an affiliate of MyNetworkTV. Founded on December 19, 2000, the station is owned by Equity Broadcasting.
[edit] History
KLMN signed on in early 2001 as a FOX affiliate, with additional programming from UPN. When Helena-based NBC affiliate KTVH bought a low-power repeater station in the Great Falls area in 2005, it caused an affiliation shake-up. Long-time NBC affiliate KTGF became an affiliate of FOX, leaving KLMN with only UPN programming. KLMN has been a MyNetworkTV affiliate since September 2006.
The KLMN callsign was once used by what is now KFTA-TV in Fort Smith, Arkansas. Ironically, KLMN is not the only station in Great Falls whose callsign was once used in Arkansas as its competitor KRTV carries the callsign of a now-defunct station in Little Rock, which coincidentally is Equity Broadcasting's hometown.
[edit] Digital television
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [1], the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 18, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KLMN will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
