KKCO channel 11 is an NBC affiliate in the Grand Junction/Montrose, Colorado market. KKCO is the highest-rated news station in its market, ahead of competitors KJCT and KREX-TV, with newscasts that many claim have the look and feel of Denver stations.

KKCO signed on in 1996; prior to then NBC had been available by way of off-hours clearance on KREX, as well as on cable from Denver stations (KCNC-TV prior to 1995 and KUSA-TV from 1995 to 1996).

In September 2006, its DT2 subcarrier became the area's new affiliate for The CW Television Network. However, despite The CW being available locally by local broadcasters, Denver's KWGN-TV, the CW affiliate for that city, is still available in Grand Junction through two low-powered repeaters in the area.
