KXRM-TV, virtual channel 21 (UHF digital channel 22), is a Fox-affiliated television station licensed to Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States and also serving Pueblo. The station is owned by Nexstar Media Group, and is sister to low-powered CW affiliate KXTU-LD, channel 57 (which is simulcast on KXRM's second digital subchannel). The two stations share studios on Wooten Road in Colorado Springs; KXRM's transmitter is located on Cheyenne Mountain.
KXRM-TV first signed on the air as an independent television station on January 22, 1985. Its call letters were chosen in part to reflect the region in which it operates; the last two letters stand for "Rocky Mountains." The station tried to sign-on Christmas Eve 1984, but technical glitches prevented that from happening. KXRM was Southern Colorado's first new independent station in 31 years. It became a charter Fox affiliate on October 6, 1986. The station was locally owned until 2000 when it was bought by Raycom Media. After Raycom merged with the Liberty Corporation, KXRM was one of several stations that were spun off to Barrington Broadcasting.
