'''KCMN-LD''', [[virtual channel]] 42 ([[Ultra high frequency|UHF]] digital channel 28), is a [[television station]] [[city of license|licensed]] to [[Topeka, Kansas|Topeka]], [[Kansas]], [[United States]]. The station is owned by [[HC2 Holdings]], as part of a duopoly with [[KAJF-LD]] (channel 21, also licensed to Topeka). |
|||
Although the city of license is Topeka, the station's signal does not reach that city; for its transmitter, which is shared with KAJF-LD, is located on the southeastern side of Kansas City just off 58th Street near the exit 65 interchange of [[Interstate 435]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=2003113|title=RabbitEars.Info}}</ref> It now identifies itself as a Kansas City-based station rather than in its licensed city. |
|||
==History== |
|||
The [[Federal Communications Commission]] issued the [[construction permit]] for the station, under the calls of '''K38MN-D''', on February 22, 2011. The current callsign was adopted on December 4, 2015.<ref name="rei">{{cite web|title=Digital TV Market Listing for KCMN-LD|url=https://www.rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=KCMN-LD#station|website=RabbitEars.Info|access-date=April 25, 2017|language=en}}</ref> Upon signing on in summer 2016, the station became DTV America's second low-power station in the Kansas City area as they signed on KAJF-LD sometime before. KCMN became DTV America's third Kansas-licensed station after locally based KAJF and [[Pittsburg, Kansas]]-licensed [[KPJO-LD|KPJO-LP]] in the [[Joplin, Missouri]] area. |
|||
In April 2017, [[Cheddar (TV channel)|Cheddar]] news channel started broadcasting over the air with DTV America affiliating five stations including KCMN with the network. [[Dunkin' Donuts]], a Cheddar advertiser, was handing out free digital antennas at events in the stations' markets to publicize the over the air launch.<ref>{{cite news|last1=Bouma|first1=Luke|title=A Cup of Coffee With a Side of Antenna TV? - Cord Cutters News|url=http://cordcuttersnews.com/cup-coffee-side-antenna/|access-date=April 21, 2017|work=Cord Cutters News|date=April 18, 2017}}</ref> |
