Weigel Broadcasting is expected to begin broadcasting on the Portland, Oregon station KOXO-CD sometime in May 2026, following the Federal Communications Commission’s (FCC) approval of Weigel’s purchase of the station. (PDX media discussion)
KOXO-CD is a low-power digital Class-A television station licensed to serve the Portland media market. It operates as part of a group of similar stations owned by WatchTV, Inc., which are often used for niche programming or network affiliations. However, as of recent records, the station is currently silent (not broadcasting).
– Original construction permit: 1992 (as K66EJ)
– Became KOXO-LP in 2001, then KOXO-CA (Class-A analog)
– Converted to digital as KOXO-CD in 2015
– Part of Portland’s cluster of WatchTV stations, which have included shopping, independent, and Spanish-language programming in the past.
KOXO-CD is one of several low-power stations in the Portland area owned by WatchTV, a company known for acquiring and operating secondary broadcast outlets. These stations have historically carried affiliations like UniMás (a Univision network) or shopping channels, but many in the group, including KOXO-CD, went silent around 2023–2024 amid broader industry shifts toward streaming and reduced over-the-air viability for low-power broadcasters. No recent applications for reactivation are noted in FCC records, though the CP keeps the frequency reserved. KOXI-CD (Channel 20) in Portland is also silent but shares the same ownership.
