[edit] KSTU: Since 1978 or Since 1987?

Actually, it's the latter. The KSTU calls were attached to two distinct licenses, hence two distinct stations. They even co-existed from January 1987 through November 1987. What makes it confusing is that MWT Ltd., original permittee of the KSTU 13 in January 1987 (then called KTMW), bought KSTU 20 from Adams Communications in October 1987, for the express purpose of using channel 20's equipment to build channel 13. Presumably, they immediately shut the station down and returned the license to the FCC, because two weeks after the deal was consummated on KSTU 20, the KSTU call letters were moved to channel 13 and the KTMW 13 callsign was deleted. The details of this whole affair can be found at FindLaw for Legal Professionals - it reads almost like a soap opera. When I get a chance, I intend to correct the article. --dhett 06:44, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Corrections are made. To any who should wish to revert the changes, my revisions are all verifiable. There was no verification for the previous versions of the station's article. --dhett 10:14, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
