KDTL-LD


KDTL-LD is a low-power television station in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. It is owned by Gray Media alongside CBS affiliate KMOV. The two stations share studios on Progress Parkway in suburban Maryland Heights and transmitting facilities in Lemay, Missouri.

History

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 the Daystar 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 Word of God Fellowship would sell KDTL-LD to Atlanta-based Gray Television, which had acquired KMOV the year previous after purchasing Meredith's broadcast division and its stations, for $1 million; the sale was completed on July 1.
Following the consummation of the sale to Gray, the station dropped its affiliation with Daystar, as the network's programming is carried by full-power station WPXS since it purchased the station in 2010, and also duplicated in the inner core of St. Louis on in-market repeater KUMO-LD. The station initially aired an automated feed of current weather conditions, forecasts and observations from KMOV's weather computers in high definition on its second subchannel, while its main channel carried Corner Store TV, an all-paid programming network, in a transition period while Gray acquired programming to place on it with its former affiliated network Circle winding down at the end of 2023.
