Profile CDBS |
WKTC, virtual channel 63 (UHF digital channel 39), is a primary CW and secondary MyNetworkTV-affiliated television station serving Columbia, South Carolina, United States that is licensed to Sumter. The station is locally owned by WBHQ Columbia, LLC. WKTC maintains studio facilities in the Pontiac Business Center complex in Elgin, and its transmitter is located on Rush Road (southeast of I-20) in rural southwestern Kershaw County. On cable, the station is available on Charter Spectrum channel 4 and in high-definition on digital channel 1215.
The station first signed on the air on September 15, 1997 as WQHB; it originally operated as a primary UPN and secondary WB affiliate, with The WB's primetime programming airing on a one-day delay from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. It also aired select programming from Pax TV (now Ion Television). The station's original transmitter in Sumter was not nearly strong enough to provide a decent over-the-air signal to Columbia; as a result, WQHB began operating a fill-in translator in Columbia, W67DP (channel 67).
