KQUP is a Retro Television Network affiliate licensed to Pullman, Washington, serving the Spokane, Washington area. The station signed on the air in August 2002 to fill the UPN void left open by KSKN, who dropped the network in 2000 for The WB Television Network. The station dropped UPN for the Retro Television Network on January 1, 2006. However because its full-powered signal doesn't reach the Spokane, Washington metro, it uses a low-powered satellite, KQUP-LP, licensed to Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, to fill in the areas. KQUP and Retro Television Network are owned by Equity Broadcasting.

[edit] Digital television
Because it was granted an original construction permit after the FCC finalized the DTV allotment plan on April 21, 1997 [1], the station did not receive a companion channel for a digital television station. Instead, on or before February 18, 2009, which is the end of the digital TV conversion period for full-service stations, KQUP will be required to turn off its analog signal and turn on its digital signal (called a "flash-cut").
