KCSG, virtual channel and UHF digital channel 8, is a Heroes & Icons-affiliated television station located in Cedar City, Utah, United States. The station is owned by West American Finance Corporation. The station maintains studio facilities located on West 1600 South Street in St. George, and its transmitter located on Cedar Mountain, southeast of Cedar City. The station has a network of about 15 broadcast translators that extend its over-the-air coverage throughout southwestern Utah. KCSG is also available on DirecTV, Dish Network, Galaxy 19, and cable systems in the Salt Lake City market.
KCSG began as KCCZ, with a construction permit issued on June 11, 1984 to Michael Glenn Golden. After several extensions and replacements of expired permits, and transfer of the permit to Liberty Broadcasting Company, the station first signed on the air in April 23, 1990, operating as an independent station; it was licensed by the Federal Communications Commission on June 21, 1990. However, financial difficulties doomed KCCZ and it shut down in November 1992. Liberty Broadcasting filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on December 17, 1992, but the filing had to be converted to Chapter 7 bankruptcy on June 22, 1993. On October 20, Seagull Communications Company, whose principals owned KSGI radio (1450 AM, now KZNU, and 99.9 FM, now KONY) in St. George, filed an application to acquire the station out of bankruptcy and on November 12, changed its call letters to KSGI-TV to match the radio stations. The acquisition was approved by the FCC and consummated on February 1, 1994. Seagull Communications returned the station to air the same day, again as an independent station.
