RXNOVA-TV

RXNOVA-TV (channel 51) is a dual-affiliated television station in Nova Island, Robloxia as an affiliate of ABC and NBC. It is owned by PolyGram Broadcasting. Studios and offices are located on Nova Hotels on the 7th floor, while its transmitter is located in Nova Promenade, Robloxia.
It is one of the two NBC-affiliated stations in Nova Island, the other being KNVI (channel 9). The station covers most of Nova Island, while RXNOVA-DT2 covers mostly.
Until 2022, RXNOVA-TV was considered a semi-satellite of its former sister stations: KBH-TV (except its NBC-affiliated subchannel as of July 23, 2022 when it was covered by KROB-DT) from Robloxia City. It produced newscasts but has separate commercial inserts. Prior to 1995 (DT1) and 2015 (DT2 (besides KNVI)), KBH-TV and KROB-DT were the default ABC and NBC affiliates through cable and satellite providers in the area. KROB-DT was sold to GloboRB on July 23, ended its semi-satellite coverage.
==History==
===Prior to 1995 and 2015 (DT1 and DT2)===
Before RXNOVA and besides KNVI, KBH-TV and KROB-DT serve the Nova Island area to provide ABC and NBC programming, sports, and news from the Robloxia City area. It's because that the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) didn't want the Nova Island area to have a separate ABC affiliate and NBC programming (until 2015; despite CBS affiliate WNVA was the longest serving station since 1958), the reason was because that it would overlap the Robloxia City television market, which it has KBH-TV and KROB-DT (Nova Island is only 90+ miles away from Robloxia City).
===Beginnings with RXNOVA-TV===
After the long discussion with the FCC, it would announce that it would accept the separate station with ABC programming but not NBC programming in the Nova Island market. It officially signed on May 28, as the second station in the market (after WNVA, which it signed on 40+ years). After RXNOVA signed on, KROB-DT was the only NBC affiliate in Robloxia to serve the Nova Island market. Not only KROB-DT but RXFOX-TV (now KRTS) serves the Nova Island market to provide Fox programming.
===Beginnings with RXNOVA-DT2===
On December 10, 2014, it was announced that RXNOVA-TV would launch an NBC-subchannel programming to replace longtime serving station KROB-TV (now KROB-DT). The subchannel was launched on March 18, 2015.
==Ownership==
===Sale to Robloxia Broadcasting Corporation===
On June 14, 2010, it was announced that Robloxia Broadcasting Corporation would buy WNVA, KFNV-TV, and RXNOVA-TV for $27 million. This would make sister stations to KBH-TV and KROB-DT in Robloxia City (which also become flagship stations). The sale was approved by the FCC on July 30 and sold on September 19, 2010. On September 15, 2021, the company was renamed to Robloxia Broadcasting Company. The subchannel is intended for people who can't get a clear OTA signal from KNVI. However, many people find this subchannel redundant and just watch KNVI.
===Sale to PolyGram Broadcasting===
On July 28, 2022, it was announced that the Robloxia Broadcasting Company would sell RXNOVA-TV to newly-formed PolyGram Broadcasting.
==Programming==
RXNOVA-TV clears the ABC and NBC programming. Syndicated programming on RXNOVA-DT1 includes Judge Mathis, Paternity Court, Wheel of Fortune, and Family Feud. Wheel is distributed by CBS Media Ventures. RXNOVA-DT2 includes The Kelly Clarkson Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and NCIS.
===Newscasts===
Until 2010, RXNOVA-TV produces their own newscast called Newscenter 51, which airs 9 hours of news. It uses timeslots: 4pm, 5pm, 6pm, and 11pm. Since the newscast debuted, it hired two anchors, 9 reporters, and 4 chief meteorologists. On June 4, 2010, it was announced that it would air its final newscast on 11pm, as part of the sale to Robloxia Broadcasting Corporation (now Robloxia Broadcasting Company) which it made sister stations to WNVA and KFNV-TV. WNVA was the highest rated station in the market, which the FCC prohibits television stations with the highest rating with the same owner. Since the demise of the newscast, FCC says it had approved the sale to make sister stations with WNVA and KFNV-TV. Now it produce newscasts with KBH-TV and KROB-DT. On May 1, 2022, KBH-TV and KROB-DT merged their newscasts to Robloxia News Now. On June 21, 2022, KBH-TV and KROB-DT separate their newscasts as part of KROB-DT's sale to GloboRB. On its NBC subchannel, it simulcasts KNVI's newscasts too.
