KGFE is the ABC affiliate serving Albuquerque, NM and the Albuquerque market. Broadcasting on channel 12, KGFE is owned and operated by Integrity Communications . In addition to running the ABC schedule, KGFE also airs syndicated programming, including The Pyramid, Family Feud, and Match Game.
== History ==
The station signed on the air on May 14, 2000. About a week after the sign-on date, KGFE became an affiliate with The WB. In 2010, Simpson tried to launch a news division for KGFE but because of low ratings, the newscast was cancelled in 2011. In 2012, Simpson Broadcasting announced that they've sold the station to Island Television.
=== ABC affiliation ===
In 2014, it was announced by KATV that they would be leaving ABC to join the new QTV. ABC was scrambling looking for a replacement for KATV. Finally on Oct. 2, ABC announced that KGFE would become the new ABC affiliate. To get ready for the move, KGFE announced that on Jan. 1, The WB would move to their subchannel 12.2.
=== New Owners ===
On Jan. 30, 2016, it was announced that Island Television (along with Higgins Broadcasting and Oakhurst Broadcasting) would merge into Adelphia Communications. Island then sold KGFE to BeloOne. On January 30, 2016 it launched its new slogan "The Spirit of New Mexico".
== Newscast ==
As part of the agreement to become an ABC affiliate, KGFE had to restart their news division and produce as much news as KATV did.
