KFOL-CD (channel 30) is a low-power, Class A independent television station in Houma, Louisiana, United States. The station is owned by Folse Communications (owned by station manager and news anchor Martin Folse). KFOL-CD's studios are located on Main Street/LA 24 in downtown Houma, and its transmitter is located on Hunley Court (southwest of the Saint Louis Bayou) in the city's northeast side.

Contents

KFOL's programming is simulcast on translator station KJUN-CD (VHF digital channel 7) in Morgan City, whose transmitter is located on LA 70 in rural southern St. Martin Parish (northeast of Morgan City). Together, the two stations utilize the unified brand HTV 10 ("HTV" meaning "Houma Television").

On cable, KFOL-CD is available on channel 10 on Comcast Xfinity in Houma, Charter Spectrum in Thibodaux, Raceland, and Bourg, Vision Communications in Larose and AT&T U-verse in New Orleans, and on Allen TV Cable Service channel 71 in Morgan City.

History

KFOL and KJUN both first signed on the air on August 28, 1989.

On September 1, 2008, during the height of Hurricane Gustav, KFOL's transmitter tower, located behind its studio facility, collapsed. Interrupting a live news broadcast on the station, anchor Martin Folse thought that the loud crash came from the station's tape library (located behind the studio), until an operator in KFOL/KJUN's control room informed him that the tower had fallen to the ground. Until new transmitter facilities were set up, the station temporarily streamed local news updates focused on Terrebonne Parish via its website. KFOL provided a direct feed to area cable providers, restoring service until a temporary tower was erected.

On January 20, 2014, KFOL began broadcasting from a new studio facility located on Main Street in downtown Houma, within a building that formerly housed a Dupont's Department Store location.

Programming

The two stations generally carry locally produced programming including news and public affairs programs. Programs broadcast by KFOL/KJUN include the weeknight news, interview and call-in program Bayou Time; the interview program One on One; the New Orleans Saints-focused sports magazine series Saints on the Bayou; the college football analysis program The Charlie Stubbs Show; the sports wrap-up program Friday Night Sports, and The Beat (a series similar in format to the long-running reality series Cops that follows local police officers).

Analog-to-digital conversion

KJUN also activated its new transmitter facility, operating at 300 watts, near its existing site off of Highway 70. On January 20, 2014, KFOL began broadcasting all in-studio and field segments within its programming in 1080i high definition.
