KOLN (channel 10) is a television station licensed to Lincoln, Nebraska, United States, serving southeastern and central Nebraska as an affiliate of CBS. Owned by Gray Television, the station maintains studios on North 40th Street in Lincoln and transmitter facilities near Beaver Crossing, Nebraska.
KGIN (channel 11) in Grand Island operates as a semi-satellite of KOLN, serving the central portion of the market; this station maintains a news bureau and sales office on West State Street in Grand Island and transmitter facilities near Heartwell, Nebraska. Collectively branded as "10/11", the two stations serve one of the largest coverage areas in the United States, stretching across 42 counties in southern and central Nebraska—almost two-thirds of the state's geographical land area—and an additional four counties in Kansas.
KOLN/KGIN share common ownership with York-licensed NBC affiliate KSNB-TV (channel 4), which was acquired by Gray in 2013 and simulcasts in high definition on the second digital subchannel of KGIN. It previously broadcast MyNetworkTV and MeTV programming, along with central Nebraska-specific newscasts. Following Gray's acquisition of Hastings' NBC affiliate KHAS-TV, the station was shut down and its programming (along with separately-produced newscasts out of Hastings) was moved to KSNB's primary channel, which became the primary NBC affiliate for this vast market. KSNB moved to KHAS' former studio just outside Hastings on US 281, though master control and some internal operations are based at KOLN's facilities. Gray reacquired KNHL (the former KHAS-TV) from Legacy Broadcasting on March 1, 2019, and made it a KSNB satellite to further resolve its signal issues.[4] KOLN/KGIN is also sister to Lincoln-licensed low-power station KCWH-LD (channel 18), a CW affiliate (through The CW Plus) that served as a translator for KSNB prior to 2018.
KNPL-LD (channel 10) in North Platte operates as another semi-satellite of KOLN. KOLN serves as a master hub for Gray's Nebraska television stations, with the exception of NBC affiliate WOWT (channel 6) in Omaha.
