'''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 Corporation]] of [[Sunrise, Florida]], which also owns [[The Country Network|Country Network]] affiliate [[KAJF-LD]]. WQEK’s digital signal is broadcast on [[UHF]] Channel 18, but is displayed as virtual channel 36 via [[PSIP]]. <ref name=kcmn>[http://rabbitears.info/market.php?request=station_search&callsign=184190 Digital TV Market Listing for KCMN-LD]</ref>

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. 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-LP]] in the [[Joplin, Missouri]] area.

==Digital television==
The station’s signal is multiplexed.
