KAVE-TV
KOCT (channel 6) was a television station in Carlsbad, New Mexico, United States, which operated from 1956 to 2012. Originally established as KAVE-TV, an independent local station for Carlsbad, in 1956, it was the regional affiliate of CBS for the next decade. The construction of the higher-power KBIM-TV at Roswell in 1966 caused KOCT to lose its CBS affiliation; at that time, it was sold and began a 46-year history as a satellite of three ABC affiliates in succession: KVKM-TV in Monahans, Texas; KELP-TV/KVIA-TV in El Paso, Texas; and KOAT-TV in Albuquerque. Only once in that time, from 1982 to 1984, did the station produce significant local programming in Carlsbad. The call sign was changed to KVIO-TV in 1987 and to KOCT in 1993. In 2012, KOAT surrendered the full-power KOCT license and replaced it with a translator license because doing so allowed it to cease maintaining a separate public file in Carlsbad.
