American television broadcasting company
Cocola Broadcasting is an American television broadcasting company based in Fresno, California. Founded in the early 1980s by Valley broadcasting veteran Gary Cocola, Cocola owns two full-power digital television stations: KGMC in Fresno and KKJB in Boise, Idaho, along with several low-power television stations in Central California and Boise. Cocola was one of the first broadcasters in the U.S. to take advantage of the opportunities of low-powered television, after the FCC approved such stations in the early 1980s.
