KOAT

Koat is most widely recognized as the callsign of KOAT-TV, a television station in Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States. KOAT-TV is an affiliate of the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) and serves the Albuquerque–Santa Fe metropolitan area with local news, weather, sports, and community programming, alongside national and syndicated content. The station is owned by Hearst Television, a subsidiary of Hearst Communications. KOAT began broadcasting in the early 1950s and has established itself as a longstanding ABC affiliate in the region. The letters in the KOAT call sign are a branding element for the station and are not generally described as an acronym with a defined public meaning.

Beyond the television station, Koat may appear as a personal or family name in some cultural contexts,
