KZNO-LP, VHF digital channel 6, was a low-powered independent television station licensed to Big Bear Lake, California, United States. As of 2016, the station is owned by the Venture Technologies Group.
The station was founded on August 7, 1996 as translator K06MU. It was also available to area subscribers of Charter Cable on channel 6. The station's programming at the time was similar to a public-access television cable television channel, consisting primarily of news, public affairs and travel programs produced by local residents of the Big Bear Valley.
In 2016, ownership was transferred from Bear Valley Broadcasting to the current licensee. The current licensee, Venture Technologies, previously owned KSFV-CA, which also operated on analog channel 6 as a radio station. KZNO-LP now transmits from Mount Harvard, a peak adjacent to Mount Wilson, in Los Angeles County, as a Spanish-religious station; while what is now KSFV-CD now shares transmitting facilities on Box Springs Mountain in Riverside County with Ontario-licensed KPOM-CD.
Since KZNO-LP is a low-power station, it was not required to switch to a digital signal on June 12, 2009, as required of all full-power TV stations in the United States. The FCC has set July 2021 as the deadline for that transition. The station's audio feed can be heard on local radio at 87.7 FM since analog channel 6 is in the 82-88 MHz range.
As of July 9, 2021, KZNO-LP has ceased its analog low power broadcast.

KNIK-LP, VHF analog channel 6, is a low-powered television station licensed to Anchorage, Alaska, United States. The station is one of very few low-power television stations that operate predominantly as a radio station by way of the fact that many FM radio receivers can tune in a VHF channel 6 television audio carrier at 87.75 MHz. This technique is made more potent due to a formerly unforeseen interpretation of deregulatory language in FCC low-power television station regulations:
Sec. 73.653 Operation of TV aural and visual transmitters.
The aural and visual transmitters may be operated independently of each other or, if operated simultaneously, may be used with different and unrelated program material.

KLOA-LP, VHF analog channel 6, was a low powered television station licensed to Inyokern, California, United States. Because the allocation of channel 6 in NTSC approximately within the lower fringes of the FM broadcast band, KLOA-LP takes advantage of the station's audio carrier, broadcasting on 87.75 MHz, and markets itself as a radio station. It airs a Classic Country format under the moniker "87.7 Country Gold". According to the Federal Communications Commission, television stations must operate both the audio and video carriers; however, the carriers are not required to "accompany" each other, meaning that the audio and video can operate independently of one another. This means that KLOA-LP need not broadcast any particular image, as long as they broadcast a video signal. It is currently unknown what video signal the station broadcasts.
This is a list of low-powered television stations (LPTV) in the United States transmitting on VHF channel 6 and operating as radio stations capable of being picked up by standard FM receivers. These stations are colloquially known as "Franken-FMs", a reference to Frankenstein's monster, because TV stations functioning as radio stations had not been envisioned by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
KBKF-LD, VHF digital channel 6, is a low-powered television station (LPTV) licensed to San Jose, California, United States. The station is owned by Venture Technologies Group, LLC. Its transmitter site is located in Loma Prieta Peak.
