KXJB's programming moved to KVLY's second subchannel in December 2014 (and later KXJB-LD), therefore KVLY can now count all of its subchannels as one station for ratings purposes. Former on-air staff Dennis Bounds – news anchor (later evening news anchor for KING 5 in Seattle; retired in 2016) Robert Ivers – news anchor and talk-show host; deceased Jim Lounsbury – news anchor (early 1980s; pioneer rock and roll DJ earlier in his career); deceased Ed Schultz – sports anchor (1982; was Fargo-based syndicated radio host); deceased Technical information Subchannels The station's digital signal is multiplexed: In January 2010, KVLY-TV began broadcasting the This TV network on subchannel 11.2. On January 1, 2013, This TV programming was replaced on digital channel 11.2 with its former sister network MeTV (both networks were owned at the time by Weigel Broadcasting; This TV was later taken over by Tribune Broadcasting and is now owned by Allen Media Group). In addition to the main MeTV programming, KVLY used the subchannel for live events (including NDSU Bison basketball), and to repeat its morning newscast, The Valley Today, in the late morning. On November 12, 2014, KXJB's programming was moved to KVLY's second digital subchannel (now also carried as KXJB-LD's main channel), displacing MeTV to the third. Heroes & Icons was added during November 2016 to KVLY's fourth subchannel, bringing a full-market coverage simulcast of KXJB-LD's third subchannel. KVLY's fourth subchannel was switched to Circle in 2021, while Heroes & Icons continues to be carried on KXJB-LD's third subchannel. Analog-to-digital conversion KVLY-TV shut down its analog signal, over VHF channel 11, on February 16, 2009, the day prior to the original date in which full-power television stations in the United States were set to transition from analog to digital broadcasts under federal mandate (which was later rescheduled for June 12, 2009). The station's digital signal remained on its pre-transition UHF channel 44. Through the use of Program and System Information Protocol, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as channel 11, its former VHF analog channel. Translators KVLY-TV serves its large coverage area with three translators. All are owned by local municipalities. Active translators Defunct translators Some of the defunct translators were actually in the western part of the Minneapolis–Saint Paul, Minnesota, broadcast television market.
