Underpowered transmitter that BARELY reaches OTA antennas on a perfect day. If there is rain, or the wind blows, massive pixelation and dropouts. A streaming server would be cheaper and much more reliable. read more

Can't watch Channel 8 in the morning anymore because of Jeff Roper. He is the most obnoxious person I have ever seen on TV. All of my friends agree. We have all switched to Channel 6. We are all in our 60s or 70s so we've seen them all. read more

I completely agree with Elizabeth. I really enjoying the programming ME TV has. It seems as though…read morethe station owners do not want to invest any money in the station for new equipment, and then of course most of the time what you're watching just goes blank or to some bright pink screen. And the sound is absolutely the worst. Programs has very low volume and commercials blast you out of your house. I certainly do hope they invest some money for new equipment and catch up with the other competitor stations.

I'm so sad that ME TV has decided to use this station as their local affiliate…read more I love the programing offered by ME TV and am extremely disappointed to be missing all the programs offered simply because KPIF has broken down equipment the impedes their ability to actually BROADCAST the programs. I'm missing hours, days and sometimes even weeks of programming simply because they are unable to transmit. When they are actually able to broadcast, their sound quality is extremely poor. I'm very disappointed.

I'm going to stop watching channel 8 news and start watching channel 6 because 8 if it's anything north of Idaho falls you very seldom report anything on it, and if you do you never give any updates later. Just like GMA they very seldom report on anything out west. All you care about is what makes you look good and that's all you care about BYE read more

Evan Thomason is the most annoying Weather reporter I've ever had to listen to. Guess I'll have to start watching Channel 6.
