Until December 2017, WCCO-TV, Minneapolis's CBS owned-and-operated station, was omitted from Selective TV's lineup, as WCCO operated its own satellite station in Alexandria, KCCO-TV (channel 7), which shut down at the end of 2017.[2] On December 22, 2017, Selective TV announced that it struck a deal to add WCCO to its lineup.[3]
