Northwest Now
On July 1, 2016, the Dorado Station Services launched a news channel specifically targeting viewers in the Pacific Northwest. At first, it wasn't clear if the company wanted it to be a cable-only channel. Several stages were planned out and the company decided to premiere its channel over-the-air.

Statement from the CEO:

''"We're very excited about this move. We believe that our viewers should receive their local news all day, every day as long as we're up and running. This not only will bring a positive impact for our company but since our first station was based off in the Pacific Northwest, we think that this channel will be a good source for our viewers. Local news and weather is a key factor. Obviously, our news coverage from our local stations can be interrupted by sporting events but we guarantee that news and weather will always be available for our viewers who need to know what's going on in their neighborhood."
