KXTU-LD, on digital channel 20, is a low-powered television station affiliated with The CW serving Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and other communities in southern Colorado. It is licensed to Colorado Springs and operates on channel 20. KXTU is a sister station to Fox affiliate KXRM-TV; both are owned by Media General. ==History== KXTU went on the air as KXTU-LP on November 5, 1999〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=KXTU#station )〕 as an UPN affiliate under the brand of UPN57. With the market realignment due to ending of UPN in the summer of 2006, KXTU affiliated with The CW. Since 2008, the station has been available on KXRM's digital subchannel 21.2; its over-the-air signal is effectively limited to Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Unlike most other low-powered stations, KXTU is available to viewers on DirecTV and Dish Network, as well as on cable systems throughout southern Colorado. This is because under the retransmission consent portion of the must-carry rules, KXRM has the right to require cable and satellite providers to carry KXTU as part of the compensation for carrying KXRM. On August 30, 2010, KXTU-LP flashed-cut from analog to digital on the same frequency/channel 57.〔(CW57 to go all digital Monday ), ColoradoConnection.com, Jaryd Wilson, August 24, 2010〕 KXTU-LP switch on October 27, 2010 to the KXTU-LD call sign.〔 In early 2012 the channel moved frequencies from 57 to 20 and rebranded from CW 57 to SOCO CW.
