Operations of TV8 were shuttered on July 17, 2020, due to the impact on tourism caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The transmitter had been silent since 2019 due to transmitter failure ahead of the move of the station from channel 45 to channel 34 due to the repack. The station was quietly acquired from Vail Resorts by Deerfield Media on May 27, 2021, with operations resuming shortly after that.[3][4]
Programming edit
The station produces a lifestyle/advertorial program titled Good Morning Vail.[5]
