ABC/CW affiliate in Reno, Nevada

KOLO TV (channel 8) is a television station in Reno, Nevada, United States, affiliated with ABC and The CW Plus. It is owned by Gray Television alongside Incline Village–licensed low power Telemundo affiliate KXNV LD (channel 26). The two stations share studios on Ampere Drive in Reno; KOLO TV's transmitter is located on Slide Mountain between SR 431 and I 580/US 395/ALT in unincorporated Washoe County.

KOLO hit the airwaves September 27, 1953, as KZTV. It was the second station in Nevada, following KLAS TV in Las Vegas (which went on air two months earlier) and the first in northern Nevada. It had hoped to be the first in Nevada, but a carpenters' strike delayed sign on. It carried programming from all four networks, but was a primary CBS affiliate; despite this, none of the soap operas it cleared during the 1950s came from CBS. Its founding owner, Donald W. Reynolds of the Donrey Media Group (now Stephens Media LLC) originally sought an affiliation with NBC. However, NBC balked; noting the fact that Reno had only 97 television sets at the time, network officials asked, "Who would be stupid enough to put a television station in Reno, Nevada?" CBS was far more responsive to Reynolds' offer. At the time channel 8 signed on, Reno was the smallest city in the country with a television station. The station also carried programs from the short lived Paramount Television Network; KZTV was one of that network's strongest affiliates, airing Paramount programs such as Time for Beany, Bandstand Revue, and Hollywood Wrestling. It also aired a large amount of local programming, much of it live. Its freewheeling production style earned it the nickname "Crazy TV." KTVN has since added local news at 4 and 4:30 p. m., the latter of which competes against KOLO TV at 4:30 p. m. and KRNV DT at 4 p. m.

KOLO TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 8, on June 12, 2009, the official date on which full power television stations in the United States transitioned from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate. The station's digital signal relocated from its pre transition VHF channel 9 to channel 8.
