KOIA

KOIA is a FOX affiliate licensed in Ottumwa, Iowa, and serves the Northern Missouri and Southern Iowa region. Broadcasting on channel 22, KOIA was owned and operated by Kenny Broadcasting. KOIA also operates a subchannel: 22.2 (for Seven Network), the station will start operating two more subchannels on March 4, 2018, 22.3 will be the home for TBD and 22.4 will be the home for Stadium. Following the merger of Oakhurst Broadcasting, Higgins Broadcasting, and Island Television into Adelphia Communications and Adelphia absorbing the remaining stations, Adelphia decided to shift focus on the stations that are in the top 50 DMA market. The remaining stations spun off to their own ownership group named Young Broadcasting, taking it's name from the former company before they merged in Media General. It was sold to Kenny Broadcasting on March 29, 2017. On April 18, 2017, Kenny Broadcasting sold KOIA to Sinclair Broadcast Group which now makes a duopoly of MyNetworkTV-affiliated station KHRL (channel 65) which is licensed to Colony.
