In the early 1980's, a group of local investors, led by Medford orchardist Dunbar Carpenter, formed Sunshine Television, Inc. The group secured a license from the Federal Communications Commission to broadcast locally on VHF Channel 12.Sunshine Television built its new station, KDRV-TV, on property just off Biddle Road near the Rogue Valley International Medford Airport.On February 26, 1984, KDRV-TV signed on as an affiliate of the ABC Television Network.KDRV-TV soon launched local news. NewsWatch 12 premiered September 16, 1985. In a few short years, the station's newscasts became the most-watched in the region. That tradition continues.
