KELO-TV is the CBS-affiliated television station in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, United States, broadcasting on VHF digital channel 11. Branded as "KELOLand" since 1954, many South Dakotans pronounce its call letters as a homonym of "hello". The station's studios are located on Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls, while its transmitter is located near Rowena, South Dakota.
KELO serves the largest viewing area of any station in the United States. It calls this vast area - which consists all of South Dakota as well as large parts of North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa - KELOLand. It covers this region with a network of three full-power satellites, known as the "KELOLand Television Network."
Notes:
The three full-power stations air separate commercials.
The programming of KELO-TV is also rebroadcast on the following translator stations:
A unique feature of KELO's coverage area is that it covers two time zones -- Central and Mountain. This means that viewers of Rapid City's KCLO watch CBS's prime-time schedule from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. (instead of 7:00 to 10:00 p.m.), with The Late Show with Stephen Colbert at 9:35 p.m. MT. KCLO, because it is in a separate market, cannot air myUTV or other programming aired by Rapid City stations; because of this, KCLO may air some syndicated programming different from the rest of the KELO network, especially during afternoon hours.
A late ice storm on April 6, 1997 caused the KXJB-TV mast in Traill County, North Dakota to collapse. As a result, several cable systems in eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota were unable to receive CBS programming. Some cable systems temporarily or permanently replaced KXJB with KDLO. (CBS programming in Eastern North Dakota has since moved to KXJB-LD and KVLY-DT2.)
