KLOA-LP, VHF analog channel 6, was a low-powered television station licensed to operate in Inyokern, California, United States. Because the allocation of channel 6 in NTSC fell approximately within the lower fringes of the FM broadcast band, KLOA-LP took advantage of the station's audio carrier, broadcasting on 87.75 MHz, and marketed itself as a radio station. It aired a Classic Country format under the moniker "87.7 Country Gold". According to the Federal Communications Commission, television stations must operate both the audio and video carriers; however, the carriers are not required to "accompany" each other, meaning that the audio and video can operate independently. This meant that KLOA-LP needed not broadcast any particular image, as long as they broadcast a video signal.
