media KTRV 12 Ends News Programming
Posted by Deanna Darr on Mon, Dec 5, 2011 at 3:05 PM
It might not come as much of a surprise after KTRV Channel 12 lost its Fox affiliation earlier this year, but news operations at the station are officially over.
According to a release issued by the station, all news programming has been immediately suspended, and the company—Block Communications—will work to place affected employees in jobs in other markets.
“We have some exceptional people here who put forth a terrific and honorable effort every day,” said Rick Joseph, president and general manager of KTRV in a written statement. “But the new business model we find ourselves having to adopt does not include news.”
The station hasn't closed the door on ever offering news programming again, but Boise just won't see it on Channel 12 anytime soon.
Since losing its affiliation, KTRV has operated as an independent station, largely airing nationally syndicated shows and reruns of older series.

Damn this was the only local news I watched. The others in Boise are scum. The other locals are Always drinking BSU koolaid and trying to shove the BSU football stories down my throat. Do they need to brag about a AA college all the time and headline it? There could be a meteor going to destroy our planet," but first let's go to Scott Dorvel for the weather." I guess I will now read the internet.

Mean you have your unemployment insurance and your on your own.What is the real reason?Budget cuts.There all going to join the club of people (denied the access to the labor market) or go into debt getting more schooling to do a menial job that you can't possibly pay back your student loans or burn through your savings ever heard the saying ya'll be eating Horse. Maybe occuppy should have gotten more air time huh
I knew CH12 was reaching in desparation when radio hacks Austin Hill and Kevin Miller started appearing as commentators. I mean taking the reason 580 AM is the lowest ranking ranking radio station (new/talk/sports) in the Valley to a news show was just dumb.
