KPXC-TV, virtual channel 59 (UHF digital channel 43), is an Ion Television owned-and-operated television station located in Denver, Colorado, United States. The station is owned by Ion Media Networks. The station maintains offices located on South Jamaica Court in Aurora, and its transmitter is located in rural southwestern Weld County, east of Frederick. On cable, the station is available on Comcast Xfinity channel 17 and in high definition on digital channel 659. It's also available on Century Link PRISM channel 68 & high definition channel 1068.
The station first signed on the air on September 10, 1987 as KUBD. Originally operating as an independent station, the station aired financial news programming from the Financial News Network during the daytime hours and ran a general entertainment schedule at night. In 1989, KUBD became the original Denver area affiliate of the Spanish language network Telemundo. FNN ceased operations two years later, when it was absorbed by CNBC. In 1995, KUBD was sold by its original ownership group (which included satellite TV entrepreneur Charlie Ergen) to Christian Network, Inc. (CNI), a non-profit organization co-founded by Bud Paxson, for $6.5 million. The CNI stations, including KUBD, were sold to Paxson Communications (the forerunner of Ion Media Networks) in 1996.
