'''KCMN-LD''' is a [[Digital terrestrial television|digital]] [[Low-power broadcasting|low-powered]] [[television station]] that is licensed to [[Topeka, Kansas|Topeka]], [[Kansas]]. The station is an affiliate of [[Decades (TV network)|Decades]], and is owned by [[DTV America|DTV America Corporation]] of [[Sunrise, Florida]], which also owns [[The Country Network|Country Network]] affiliate [[KAJF-LD]]. KCMN's digital signal is broadcast on [[UHF]] Channel 28, but is displayed as virtual channel 42 via [[PSIP]]. |
|||
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>http://rabbitears.info/contour.php?appid=2003113</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|accessdate=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 TV 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/|accessdate=April 21, 2017|work=Cord Cutters News|date=April 18, 2017}}</ref> |
