[edit] History
KXRM-TV tried to sign on the air on December 24, 1984, but technical glitches prevented that from happening. The station would sign on January 22, 1985, as an independent station.
On October 11, 2007, KXRM began airing programming from the Retro Television Network (RTN) on its subchannel 21.2.[1] Previously, the subchannel aired The Tube, until the network suspended operations October 1, 2007.
On September 15, 2008, KXRM replaced RTN programming on 21.2 with a simulcast of CW affiliate KXTU-LP.[2]
The FCC has issued the station construction permits for three translators: KXRM1 in Cañon City, Colorado, KXRM2 in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and KXRM3 in Victor, Colorado.[citation needed]
