KGPT-CA channel 49 is an America One, World Harvest Television, and Faith TV affiliate in Wichita, Kansas, owned by Great Plains Television Network.

KGPT is currently not carried by Cox's Wichita cable system.

[edit] History

The station signed on the air on June 6, 1998 as K53EO on channel 53. It initially broadcast America's Voice and ZDTV network programming,

On November 16, 1998, the call letters were changed to KTQW-LP to match their slogan "Total Quality Wichita". At first, it was the sole broadcast affiliate of TechTV, allocating 20 hours per day to the network with 4 daily hours of local programs. It is unknown how this arrangement came to be.

On June 10, 2004, the station relocated to channel 49 and became a Class A television service as KTQW-CA. By this time, network programming included America One, The Sportsman Channel, and Urban America Television. KTQW also provided some of its locally-produced programs, such as Delano Today and G-Wiz Kansas, to Wichita's city government channel on Cox cable 7 ("City 7"), as part of the city's partnership with KTQW.

On December 14, 2006, the FCC approved sale of KTQW from Knowledge LC to Great Plains Television Network. The sale was completed on December 21, 2006, which was the last time local programming was shown.

On January 8, 2007, the call letters were officially changed to KGPT. The station has applied to increase power from 4.8 kW to 13.91 kW.
