KXTU-LP

KXTU-LP (CW 57) is a low-powered television station affiliated with The CW serving Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and other communities in southern Colorado. It is licensed to operate on channel 57. KXTU is a sister station to FOX affiliate KXRM. Unlike most other low-powered stations, KXTU is available to viewers on DIRECTV and Dish Network, as well as on cable systems. This is because whenever KXRM makes a deal to get on the satellite systems, KXTU is included.

Programming

The station had been an affiliate of UPN, but when that network left the air on September 17, 2006, it switched to The CW, which was created by the merger of UPN and The WB. The station is owned by Barrington Broadcasting. Unlike its sister station, KXTU does not air news but during a breaking news event or weather bump it simulcasts KXRM-TV News.
