Junction. KREX-FM is now KMOZ-FM, broadcasting Country music from a transmitter at the Black Ridge electronics site. It and KNZZ are now owned by MBC Grand Broadcasting. Channel 5 is still based at the Hillcrest Manor studio. Studio fire The KREX studios were ravaged by a fire that broke out on January 20, 2008. News reporters Michele Fralick and Lauren Dirks were two of the five persons (two news reporters, two master control operators, and one cleaning person) inside the building at the time of the fire, all of whom escaped without injury and survived. The cause of the fire was not immediately determined and it was initially noted as a cause 'unknown'. The forensics investigations conducted led to follow-up reports that a space heater was concluded as being the source of the fire. The Grand Junction Fire Department was forced to pull firefighters from the building shortly after arriving on the scene. The 77-year-old building had been renovated several times, creating many dead air spaces. Fire officials were concerned by the potential for backdrafts, and decided to battle the fire from the exterior only. More than of water were required to fully extinguish the blaze, which continued to smolder for over 24 hours. The United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms assisted with the investigation. It was revealed that the fire started on the top floor (ground level offices) and continued down to the basement. Investigators focused on a heater in the hallway of the upper floor; however, it may be impossible to definitively determine the fire's cause. This was due to the profound level of destruction within the building as well as the decision to allow the fire to burn itself out. Ironically, the station had passed a fire inspection by the Grand Junction Fire Department only a few weeks prior to the fire. Damage to the facility was estimated at $6 million, making it the most significant fire loss in Grand Junction history. In addition to the losses of equipment and infrastructure, decades of file tapes were lost in the fire, as well as irreplaceable photographs and other archival material, wiping out a comprehensive catalog of the Grand Valley's history. The station's CBS and Fox feeds went off the air around 10:30 a.m. However, within a few hours, the national CBS and Fox feeds were picked up by the then-local cable provider, Bresnan Communications.
