==Media== {{see also|List of newspapers in Texas|List of radio stations in Texas|List of television stations in Texas}} ===Newspapers=== The main newspapers are the English-language daily ''[[El Paso Times]]'', founded in 1881; the Spanish-language daily ''[[El Diario de El Paso]]'', and the online newspaper ''[[El Paso Herald-Post]]''<ref>[http://www.elpasoheraldpost.com El Paso Herald Post website]</ref> started in 2015. The original and defunct ''El Paso Herald Post'' was also founded in 1881 as the ''El Paso Herald'', which then merged with the ''El Paso Post'' in 1931. The paper was shut down in 1997. ''El Paso Matters'', a non-profit online newspaper, was founded in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web|title=About Us – El Paso Matters|url=https://elpasomatters.org/about-us/|website=Elpasomatters.org|access-date=2020-10-04|language=en-US}}</ref> Weekly and niche magazines: * ''El Paso Inc''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.elpasoinc.com/|title=elpasoinc.com | El Paso Owned and Proud|website=Elpasoinc.com|access-date=February 15, 2022}}</ref> * ''El Paso Scene''<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.epscene.com//|title=El Paso Scene|website=Epscene.com|access-date=February 15, 2022}}</ref> * ''La Polaka''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lapolaka.com/|title=La Polaka | Periodismo en Caliente|website=Lapolaka.com|access-date=February 15, 2022}}</ref> * ''Jrznoticias''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.jrznoticias.com/|title=JRZ noticias | Noticias de Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua México y el Mundo.|website=Jrznoticias.com|access-date=February 15, 2022|archive-date=July 28, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200728153608/https://www.jrznoticias.com/|url-status=dead}}</ref> * ''The City Magazine''<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thecitymagazineelp.com/|title=The City Magazine|access-date=February 15, 2022}}</ref> * ''The Prospector'', published by the University of Texas at El Paso<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.theprospectordaily.com/|title=The Prospector|website=Theprospectdaily.com|access-date=February 15, 2022}}</ref> * ''Tejano Tribune'', published by El Paso Community College<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.tejanotribune.com/|title=Home|website=Tejano Tribune|access-date=February 15, 2022}}</ref> ===Radio stations=== Radio stations from [[Las Cruces, New Mexico]], and [[Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua]], can also be heard within the El Paso market. ===Television=== El Paso was the largest city in the United States without a PBS television station within the city limits until 1978, when [[KCOS (TV)|KCOS-TV]] was founded. El Paso viewers had to watch channel 22, [[KRWG-TV|KRWG]], from [[Las Cruces, New Mexico|Las Cruces]] until 1978. In fact, the city had only three English-speaking channels and two Spanish-language channels (channel 2 and channel 5) from Juarez, and cable TV subscribers in the 1970s and 1980s could receive four [[Los Angeles]] independent channels: [[KTLA]], [[KCAL-TV|KHJ]], [[KTTV]] and [[KCOP]] as well as Spanish-language stations [[KMEX]] of Los Angeles and [[KWEX]] of [[San Antonio]] usually sharing the same cable channel slot. Over time, as more television stations signed on, more cable channels were added and those stations added network affiliations, the Los Angeles and San Antonio stations disappeared from the lineup. The last to be removed was KTLA in the fall of 2006 as a consequence of the [[2006 United States broadcast TV realignment|WB-UPN merger]] into [[The CW Television Network|The CW]], when [[KVIA-TV]] launched a digital subchannel with the network's programming.{{citation needed|date=July 2020}} In 2019, KCOS was absorbed and moved to Lubbock as part of Texas Tech Public Media in order to keep the station on air after years of financial struggles. KCOS still focuses on broadcasting to the El Paso community.<ref>{{Cite web|url= https://current.org/2019/08/deal-between-texas-stations-aids-struggling-kcos-in-el-paso/?wallit_nosession=1 |access-date=November 20, 2022 |title=Deal between Texas stations aids struggling KCOS in el Paso |date=August 12, 2019 }}</ref>
