KCLO-TV

KCLO-TV (channel 15) is a television station in Rapid City, South Dakota, United States, airing programming from The CW. Owned by Nexstar Media Group, the station operates a news bureau and sales office on Canyon Lake Drive in Rapid City, with its transmitter located on Skyline Drive near the downtown area. Although identifying as a separate station in its own right, KCLO-TV is considered a semi-satellite of sister station KELO-TV (channel 11) in Sioux Falls, which operates two other semi-satellites: KDLO-TV (channel 3) in Florence and KPLO-TV (channel 6) in Reliance. KCLO-TV's master control, as well as most internal operations, are housed at KELO-TV's studios on Phillips Avenue in downtown Sioux Falls. KCLO-TV simulcasts KELO-TV's newscasts (with local weather inserts), but airs a separate lineup of syndicated and network programming; there are also separate commercial inserts and legal station identifications. While KCLO-TV initially carried CBS network programs on an hour delay from KELO-TV when it became a full-power station, it began airing them—and KELO's Sioux Falls–based news—live in January 1991 during the Gulf War and announced it would do so permanently. On August 1, 2026, KCLO—but not KELO—lost its CBS affiliation and became a primary affiliate of The CW.
