Page "Hubbard Broadcasting" Paragraph 5

After the Federal Communications Commission relaxed rules about television station ownership, Hubbard bought a second television station in the Twin Cities.

Originally affiliated with the Home Shopping Network when it started operations in 1994, KVBM was bought by Hubbard and became general-entertainment independent station KSTC-TV in 2000.

It has been used as an alternate outlet for ABC network programming when KSTP-TV is broadcasting coverage of Viking football games or other special shows, including severe-weather coverage.
