KFOL-CD and KJUN-CD are Digital Class A low-power television stations in Houma and Morgan City, Louisiana, respectively, owned locally by Folse Communications LLC. KFOL broadcasts locally in the Houma-Thibodaux area in digital on UHF channel 30, while KJUN broadcasts locally in the Morgan City/St. Mary area in digital on VHF channel 7. The stations brand themselves as HTV 10, for Houma TeleVision channel 10. The stations are carried on channel 10 on most local cable TV systems and are independent stations which focus on local news, sports, and weather. HTV 10 also broadcasts other locally-produced programming.

The owner of Folse Communications is Martin Folse, who is also station manager and news anchor at HTV 10.

[edit] Coverage area

The stations serve a viewing area of approximately 441,000 persons in the following parishes:

[edit] Hurricane Gustav

On September 1, 2008, during height of Hurricane Gustav, the KFOL tower fell behind the studio while the station was on the air. At first, anchor Martin Folse, thought the tape library behind the station caused a loud crash, until a control room person informed him that the tower was no longer standing. The station continued to broadcast updates about Terrebonne Parish via the internet.

A temporary tower was erected, and cables systems picked up a direct feed of the station. It is unclear if the tower collapse also affected its Morgan City transmitter, KJUN.

[edit] Digital transition

After months of working on a brand new tower site on the east side of Houma, KFOL activated it's new digital tower operating at 15 kW. KJUN also activated their new tower operating at 300 watts at their current site. They remain on channels 30 and 7 respectively.
