[edit] History of K25HD

An original construction permit for a low-power station on channel 65 was issued on February 20, 1992 to Richard D. Tatham. The station, known as K65FI, was licensed on April 5, 1996 and upgraded its license to Class A in 2001. In 2000, required to abandon the 700 mHz spectrum, K65FI applied to move to channel 45, and both times, the applications were dismissed by the FCC per its rules. The station was granted permission to move to channel 25 in May 2001 and was licensed as K25HD on June 4, 2004.
