Profile CDBS |
WKUW-LD is a Digital low-powered television station that is licensed to White House, Tennessee and is serving the Nashville, Tennessee area. It broadcasts a digital signal on UHF channel 40.
Originally licensed to Bowling Green, Kentucky, the station began broadcasting on October 17, 2002, as a TBN translator station, under the call sign W60DC, and was owned and operated by The Trinity Broadcasting Network.
On October 5, 2004, TBN announced that they would sell the translator to Budd Broadcasting. The sale was finalized on December 1, 2004. A year later on June 9, 2005, Budd Broadcasting changed the call sign to WKUW-LP.
On December 31, 2010, Budd Broadcasting took WKUW silent temporarily, to upgrade the station to digital operations and also to relocate the station to the White House, Tennessee area, where the station also serves the Nashville, Tennessee, market area. The station upgraded to digital on Channel 40 and left the Channel 60 position. Through the use of PSIP, digital television receivers display the station's virtual channel as its current UHF digital channel 40 rather than its former UHF analog channel 60, which was among the high band UHF channels (52–69) that were removed from broadcasting use as a result of the transition. The callsign was also changed to WKUW-LD.
In 2015, it was announced that WKUW-LD, along with WKUT-LD will be operated by DTV America Corporation, making WKUW and WKUT the sister station of Bowling Green-based Antenna TV and MyNetworkTV dual affiliate WCZU-LD. On July 17, 2015, DTV America took full control of WKUW and now owns & operates the station outright.
