KTHV Lends KATV Tower Space

Arkansas Business.com reports KTHV is letting KATV use its auxiliary broadcast tower to get its signal out. The article says Channel 7 began transmitting its signal from the site Monday night.

The two GM's had this to say:
"This kind of cooperation between KTHV and KATV is most appreciated and evidence broadcasters are here to serve the community," said Dale Nicholson, general manager at KATV.

"That's how much we believe in local TV," said Larry Audas, general manager at KTHV in a news release. "We go nose to nose with KATV every day in news, sales and every competitive aspect of broadcasting. But THV's first obligation is to Arkansas viewers ... . Competitive results will take care of themselves."
