K34QB-D (channel 45), branded TV8, is a low-power independent television station in Vail, Colorado, United States. Founded on September 17, 1992, the station is owned by Deerfield Media, a partner company of Sinclair Broadcast Group. The station can be seen throughout the Vail area on cable channel 92.
Operations of TV8 were shuttered on July 17, 2020, due to the impact on tourism caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The transmitter had been silent since 2019 due to transmitter failure ahead of the move of the station from channel 45 to channel 34 due to the repack. The station was quietly acquired from Vail Resorts by Deerfield Media on May 27, 2021, with operations resuming shortly after that.[3][4]
