KWKD-LD (channel 28) is a is a low-power television station in Wichita, Kansas, United States as an owned-and-operated station of the Daystar Television Network.

Brief history

[edit]

On March 26, 2006, the station was granted a construction permit to begin operations as a digital television station. Upon completion, the station was to broadcast at 15 kW on channel 38.

A deal was reached by the station's previous owner, Trinity Broadcasting Network, to sell the station to Word of God Fellowship, owner of Daystar, on March 19, 2010.[2]

On July 13, 2021, following the FCC requirements for low-power television stations to shut-off their analog signals, the then-KWKD-LP shut off their analog signal and replaced it with a digital signal. The callsign was also changed to KWKD-LD on July 27, 2021 to reflect this.[citation needed]
