KNUJ

This article is in no relation to the real life AM and FM station in New Ulm, Minnesota.
KNUJ (virtual channel 3) is the NBC owned-and-operated television station that serves the Amarillo, TX broadcast area. It is owned by the NBCUniversal Owned Television Stations subsidiary of NBCUniversal (itself a division of Comcast) as part of a duopoly with Telemundo owned-and-operated station KAVM (channel 43). Both stations share studio and office facilities located on East 3rd Avenue near downtown Amarillo and with transmitting facilities located north of Amarillo in unincorporated Potter County.
== Station History ==
KNUJ signed on the air back on October 13, 1961 and signed on originally as an independent. It remained as an Independent for merely 3 years until 1964 when ABN came to Amarillo and KNUJ gladly picked up the affiliate. KNUJ remained as ABN till late 2014 when the fictional tv station realignment occurred. KNUJ then switched affiliations for a second time with KANX and became Amarillo's newest NBC affiliate. As of January 2015, KNUJ has remained with NBC. On December 14, 2015 NBCUniversal announce it will trade KNUJ away to BeloOne for WDCD in Washington DC. It is now owned by BeloOne. On April 19, 2017, KNUJ along with KFRS were sold by BeloOne back to NBCUniversal.
