KCMN-LD is a digital low-powered television station that is licensed to Topeka, Kansas. The station is an affiliate of Decades, and is owned by DTV America Corporation of Sunrise, Florida, which also owns Country Network affiliate KAJF-LD. WQEK’s digital signal is broadcast on UHF Channel 18, but is displayed as virtual channel 36 via PSIP. [1]

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. [2] 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.
