KRND

KRND, virtual channel 6, is a DBC-affiliated television station licensed to Reno, Nevada. The station is owned by Dorado Media, as part of a duopoly with Sparks-licensed UDC affiliate KRSP (channel 48). The two stations share studios on South Meadows Parkway in Reno. KRND's transmitter facility is located on Peavine Peak
== History ==
The station signed on the air on July 1, 2016, as a DBC owned-and-operated television station. The station has always been a DBC affiliate.
In December 2016, KRND was knocked off the air due to winds gusting to nearly 100 mph over the ridgetops of the Sierra Nevada, downing power lines in the Reno area. Once the station was back on the air, it was continuously broadcasting its breaking news coverage of the wind storm. 
The station has been known to heavily preempt DBC programming in order to provide sports telecasts of the Sacramento Kings, Golden State Warriors, and the Reno Bighorns.
On November 20, 2017, the Dorado Station Services announced the turn over of stations ranked below the top 99 television markets in the United States to sister-company Dorado Media.
=== DBC moves to channel 6 ===
As part of the deal, the Dorado Station Services intended to sell KRND's license assets, but would still operate that station through shared services and joint sales agreements. as part of a restructuring of the deal in order to address these ownership conflict. The company announced that it would terminate its shared services agreement option. The station's call letters were never changed, and it received FCC approval to switch its PSIP virtual channel number from 32 to channel 6, allowing it over-the-air parity within Reno proper with other low-numbered stations.
