KTNL-TV also operates a full-time satellite station: KUBD (channel 13) in Ketchikan. Former Juneau-based low-power KXLJ-LD (channel 24) was surrendered to the FCC on September 28, 2021.
In 2014, Ketchikan Television sold KTNL-TV, KUBD and KXLJ-LD to Denali Media Holdings.[3]
At the time it launched in 1966, it was Sitka's second television station behind now-defunct cable NBC affiliate KSA-TV.
