KOBD

KOBD is an NBC-affiliated television station located in Bend, Oregon. The station is owned by the Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation, as part of a duopoly with CW affiliate KXCW.
== History ==
KOBD became a full-time NBC affiliate in 1963. It was a typical UHF independent, airing a lineup of cartoons, sitcoms, older movies and sporting events.
During the analog television era, WBGO boosted one of the largest signal coverage areas in the Central Oregon. The signal traveled a very long distance under normal conditions. Although its digital signal operates on UHF, KOBD's secondary coverage area in digital is almost as large as that of its former analog signal. This is because its digital signal operates at a million watts, equivalent to five million watts in analog.
KOBD was sold to Dorado Media on October 27, 2015, following the companies purchase of the station will change the logo and graphics package.
On June 1, 2017, following the launch of the newly formed television network The United Dorado Company, the Dorado Station Services announced that it would trade Fox affiliate KBND to Dorado Media in exchange for the launch of the UDC affiliation.
Although Dorado owned a duopoly in Bend, KOBD (channel 4), and KCNO (channel 13), the company announced to sell KOBD and the license assets of one of the three stations to comply with FCC ownership restrictions, with the divested station's programming being moved to the other stations. Dorado could not buy KBND outright because Bend has only a few stations to legally permit a duopoly. 
== Sale to the Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation ==
Following the launch of the ABC affiliation on KBND, and moving the Fox affiliation to the station's digital subchannel, Dorado Media announced that it would sell KOBD to the Berfield/Willis Broadcast Corporation. Following this sale, this would launch another duopoly in the market.
