KAWE (channel 9) is a
PBS member
television station in
Bemidji, Minnesota , United States, owned by Northern Minnesota Public Television, Inc. The station's studios are located on Grant Avenue Northeast in Bemidji, and its transmitter is located southeast of
Blackduck, Minnesota .
KAWB (channel 22) in
Brainerd operates as a full-time
satellite of KAWE; this station's transmitter is located near
East Gull Lake, Minnesota . KAWB covers areas of central Minnesota that receive a marginal to non-existent
over-the-air signal from KAWE, although there is significant overlap between the two stations'
contours otherwise. KAWB is a straight
simulcast of KAWE; on-air references to KAWB are limited to
Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-mandated hourly
station identifications during programming.
The two stations are collectively branded as Lakeland PBS .
[3] The network first took to the air on June 1, 1980, and was formerly known as Lakeland Public Television ; it re-branded on January 8, 2018, to better align its brand with PBS. It is the only full-power television broadcasting operation based in north central Minnesota, an area that is served mainly by
translators of the
Minneapolis–Saint Paul television stations.
Lakeland PBS utilizes KAWB's channel 22 position on
DirecTV and
Dish Network 's Twin Cities local lineups to avert confusion with
Fox
owned-and-operated station
KMSP-TV (channel 9) in Minneapolis.
Newscasts
Lakeland PBS produces a 30-minute local newscast Monday through Friday. The newscast originates from its studios in Bemidji, and the station also has a news-production facility in Brainerd. Lakeland PBS airs the only local newscast in north central Minnesota.[
