KOBI (channel 5) is a television station in Medford, Oregon, United States, affiliated with NBC. It serves as the flagship property of locally based California Oregon Broadcasting, Inc. KOBI's studios are located on South Fir Street in downtown Medford, and its transmitter is located atop Kings Mountain, 28 miles (45 km) northwest of the city.
KOTI (channel 2) in Klamath Falls operates as a full-time satellite of KOBI; this station maintains a news bureau on South 7th Street in downtown Klamath Falls and a transmitter atop Stukel Mountain. KOTI covers areas of southwest and south-central Oregon that receive a marginal to non-existent over-the-air signal from KOBI, although there is significant overlap between the two stations' contours otherwise. KOTI is a straight simulcast of KOBI; on-air references to KOTI are limited to Federal Communications Commission (FCC)-mandated hourly station identifications during newscasts and other programming.
Together, KOBI and KOTI serve 12 mostly rural counties in southern Oregon and northern California.
