KAYU-TV, channel 28, is the Fox-affiliated television station for Spokane, Washington, owned and operated by Mountain Broadcasting, LLC, a division of Northwest Broadcasting Company.

History

The station was was founded in 1982 by Spokane native Robert Hamacher and his company, Salmon River Communications. It was Spokane's first independent station, as well as the first new commercial station to sign on in the area since KREM-TV hit the airwaves 28 years earlier. It is also the oldest non-Big Three station in the eastern part of the state. It joined Fox as a charter affiliate in 1986.

From 1993 to 1999, KAYU operated a low-powered satellite in Yakima, K68EB. When sister station KFFX-TV in the Tri-Cities signed on in 1999, the Yakima translator switched programming sources to KFFX; that station is now KCYU-LD.

Cable carriage

KAYU's signal is carried by some 75 multi-video providers, including Comcast (Spokane), Time Warner (North Idaho), Cable One (Lewiston, ID) and Northland Cable (Moses Lake/Ephrata, WA). In addition both US satellite providers, Dish Network carries a high definition and a standard definition version of the KAYU signal. Further, KAYU's signal is uplinked by Shaw Cable and Shaw Direct and is shown in much of Central and Southern Alberta and Southeastern British Columbia, Canada.

KAYU is carried on DirecTV as a local station on Channel 28.

News operation

In 1991, KAYU began broadcasting a 10 p.m. newscast, produced by CBS affiliate KREM (channel 2) under a news share agreement. Dismal ratings caused KREM to drop out of the news share agreement in 1993, upon which NBC affiliate KHQ (channel 6) signed a news share agreement with KAYU. The KHQ-produced newscast was canceled in 1994. In 1999, KAYU produced an in-house 10 p.m. newscast that ran until 2004. ABC affiliate KXLY (channel 4) assisted in content and talent for a short time. In 2004, KAYU partnered with KHQ for the second time to produce the newscast, which was renamed Fox First at Ten. As of April 2010, KAYU is the only station in Spokane to not broadcast its newscasts in widescreen standard definition or in high definition. The station also produces a segment called Washington's Most Wanted, a local version of America's Most Wanted, featuring profiles of wanted criminals in Eastern Washington.
