KTYJ-LP is a low-power television station in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, broadcasting locally in analog on UHF channel 58 as an affiliate of America One. Founded July 9, 1990, the station is owned by Christian Broadcasting of Idaho, Inc.[1]
[edit] History
The station began July 9, 1990 when the FCC issued an original construction permit to King Broadcasting Company for K58DQ.[2] On December 3, 1992, King Broadcasting sold the construction permit to David C. Derryberry, who brought the station on air under Program Test Authority in February 1994, with the license to follow on April 1, 1994.[3][4] The station broadcast religious programming and had its own local evening newscast.[5] On June 9, 1997, the station took the call letters KTYJ-LP.[6] Derryberry sold the station to Christian Broadcasting of Idaho, Inc. on December 21, 1998. After operating the station for a little more than two years, Christian Broadcasting of Idaho reached an agreement to sell the station to North Rocky Mountain Television. The FCC approved the transaction on April 30, 2001, but the sale was never consummated and Christian Broadcasting of Idaho remained as the station's owner. Subsequent FCC documents continued to show Christian Broadcasting of Idaho as the owners of KTYJ-LP.[7][8] Since the unsuccessful sale attempt, the station has affiliated with America One.
