KENV-DT (channel 10) is a television station licensed to Elko, Nevada, United States, broadcasting the digital multicast network TBD. Owned by Cunningham Broadcasting, it is operated under a joint sales agreement by TBD owner Sinclair Broadcast Group (effectively making KENV an owned-and-operated station). KENV's studios are located on the campus of Great Basin College on Chilton Circle in Elko,[3][4] and its transmitter is located on Grindstone Mountain.[5][6]
Until 2018, it served as the NBC affiliate for much of the Nevada side of the Salt Lake City market.[7] Although considered a separate station in its own right, the outlet was actually operated as a semi-satellite of KRNV-DT (channel 4) in Reno. As such, it simulcast NBC network and syndicated programming as provided by KRNV but aired separate commercials, legal identifications, and weekday morning newscasts. Even though the station maintains its own facilities, master control and most internal operations are based at KRNV's studios on Vassar Street in Reno; KENV is operated separately from Sinclair's Salt Lake City stations, KUTV (channel 2), KMYU (channel 12), and KJZZ-TV (channel 14). As KENV-DT is a de facto Salt Lake City market station (despite its signal not reaching the Salt Lake City metropolitan area due to being located on Grindstone Mountain, three hours away), this makes it the only television station in the Salt Lake City market that is licensed to the Nevada side of the market.
