KOMO-TV is a television station in Seattle, Washington. It is affiliated with the ABC network. The station is owned by Fisher Communications (http://www.fsci.com/), which also owns KATU in Portland, as well as a number of smaller television stations acquired from Retlaw Enterprises in 1998, along with several radio stations (including KOMO AM 1000, KOMO-TV's immediate sister radio station). KOMO broadcasts on analog channel 4 and digital channel 38. Its studios are located just south of the Seattle Center in the Denny Regrade neighborhood in a new broadcasting center, Fisher Plaza, opened in 2000.
It is one of five local Seattle TV stations seen in Canada on the Bell ExpressVu and StarChoice satellite providers.
Trivia
In the movie Life or Something Like It, Angelina Jolie's character works for a fictional Seattle TV station, KQMO 4, which is based on the real-life KOMO-TV. Parts of the movie were shot on location at KOMO's studio, and KOMO's equipment was also shown in some scenes (with KOMO's logo on the equipment and in the studio modified to say "KQMO" instead). Some of KOMO's anchors also made appearances in the movie.
