KOMU-TV (fictional)

KOMU-TV, virtual and VHF digital channel 8, is a dual NBC/CW+-affiliated television station licensed to Columbia, Missouri, United States and serving the Columbia–Jefferson City television market. Owned by the University of Missouri as part of a duopoly with Telemundo affiliate KOML-TV, KOMU-TV and KOML-TV are two of only four commercial television stations in the United States to be owned by a public institution (most TV and radio stations owned by public institutions in the United States are non-commercial public broadcasting stations); the others are Class A station WVUA-CD (and its full-power satellite WVUA) in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, which is owned by the University of Alabama, and WNDU-TV in South Bend, Indiana, which is owned by the University of Notre Dame but operated by Gray Television under a local marketing agreement. The stations share studios and a transmitter on US 63 southeast of downtown Columbia.

On cable, KOMU-TV is available on Mediacom, Suddenlink, and Charter Spectrum channel 7 as well as CenturyLink channel 8.
