About
Northwest Television Northwest Television, LLC (NWTV) presently operates stations in the Portland, Oregon DMA (Designated Market Area). In the coming
months, we will also be adding stations in the Eugene DMA, and the Bend DMA. Northwest Television offers a wide
variety of programming to our viewers. We also provide advertising and video production services at
reasonable prices for local businesses and organizations. Northwest Television is locally-owned
and committed to enhancing the quality of life in our community. Northwest Television is not
responsible to any large corporation or shareholders. Decisions are made locally with our
community in mind. Northwest Television is building a
regional network of community television stations, resulting in significant opportunities
for local community involvement. Our vision is to provide local news, sports,
entertainment, information and specialty programming targeted toward filling the void of
community involvement common to most stations and networks. We know communities outside the major
cities are ignored by other television stations. To us, it’s more than just providing
entertainment programming. It’s about community. Northwest Television is proud to support
our communities through coverage of local events. We are committed to serving the
communities we reach with local and diverse programming. History Ken Lewetag and Michael Mattson had
been experienced in various aspects of broadcasting, and had long realized the need for a
local station to serve the Mid Willamette Valley. In 2000, they filed several
applications for new stations in various strategic locations. KWVT TV first signed on as channel 52
in April of 2005. KWVT quickly demonstrated the ability to cover live sporting
events with a live broadcast of Cascade Surge Soccer. As part of our commitment to the
community, KWVT agreed to become the new Capital Area local primary
station for the Emergency Alert System 2007 bought several changes as Channel
17 went on the air much closer to Salem, and became KWVT when channel 52 was
sold. In May 2008, a more powerful signal
from channel 17 extended coverage to most of Marion, Polk and Yamhill
Counties. In November 2008 a digital TV signal
including a DTV multicast was added. In April 2009, we secured an affiliation
agreement with Retro Television for KSLM TV, enabling us to provide many well known
programs for our viewers. ---------- Many changes are being planned for
Northwest Television to improve and expand our coverage, as well as to increase our viewers
programming options. ---------- For more information, contact us: Northwest Television, LLC 17980 Brown Rd. Dallas, Oregon 97338 503-930-7228 info@kwvtsalem.com |
