KDTL-LD(channel 32) is alow-power television stationinSt. Louis, Missouri,United States. It is owned byGray TelevisionalongsideCBSaffiliateKMOV(channel 4). The two stations share studios on Progress Parkway in suburbanMaryland Heightsand transmitting facilities inLemay, Missouri.
History
[edit]The station began operations as K64DT on September 28, 1992. The station increased its power, changing its callsign to KDTL-LP in 2004 after being sold to Word of God Fellowship, the commercial license arm of theDaystar Television Network,to broadcast Daystar's programming. The station converted to digital operations at the end of 2011, and changed its callsign to KDTL-LD on January 5, 2012.
On May 9, 2022, it was announced that Daystar parent company Word of God Fellowship would sell KDTL-LD toAtlanta-basedGray Television,which had acquired KMOV the year previous after purchasingMeredith's broadcast division and its stations, for $1 million;[2]the sale was completed on July 1.[3]
As Daystar's programming has been carried by full-power stationWPXS(channel 13) since it purchased the station in 2010, and the programming is duplicated in the inner core of St. Louis on in-market repeater KUMO-LD (channel 51), no arrangement to keep the network on the station was needed or made. Following the consummation of the sale to Gray it broadcast an automated feed of current weather conditions, forecasts and observations from KMOV's weather computers in high definition on its second subchannel (mapped to channel 4.7, using KMOV's channel position), while its main channel (mapped to 4.6) carried Corner Store TV, an all-paid programmingnetwork, in a transition period while Gray acquired programming to place on it with its former affiliated networkCirclewinding down at the end of 2023.
