Retro: Fairbanks Tues, Jan 5, 1976

from Fairbanks Daily News-Miner via Newspapers.com
ABC was shared between 2 and 11 until 1985, when an ownership change saw 2 become primary ABC and secondary NBC. 11 would switch from CBS to NBC in April 1996, in response to the launch of Alaska's SuperStation; Fox station KFXF 7 would become secondary CBS for several months, until the launch of K13XD in August
