Public license information

KFNE (channel 10) is a television station in Riverton, Wyoming, United States, owned by Front Range Television LLC. The station's transmitter is located atop Boysen Peak northeast of Riverton. It operates as a full-time satellite of Fox affiliate KFNB in Casper, and airs commonly managed Casper ABC affiliate KTWO-TV on its second digital channel.

While KFNE is currently a satellite station, it operated on its own between 1957 and 1984. For most of that time, the station was based in Thermopolis, though the city of license was always Riverton.[4] In 1984, principals involved with this station started channel 20 at Casper, which the Riverton station has relayed ever since.
