Technical upgrades now allow CBS television programming in Central Oregon to be controlled in Bend by station owner Zolo Media, instead of KOIN-TV in Portland.

As of Thursday, new transmitters, towers and antenna arrays have been bringing shows programmed in Bend at KBNZ — CBS for Central Oregon — according to a news release from Zolo Media, sister company to BendBroadband. The station will continue to run newscasts from KOIN, although the noon, 5:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. KOIN newscasts have been eliminated, according to the KBNZ website.

KBNZ can be found at Channel 7.1 for over-the-air viewers, or Channel 6 or 606 in HD for those with service from BendBroadband.
