[edit] History
In 1960, KDLT started broadcasting in from Mitchell, South Dakota as KORN-TV on channel 5, an ABC affiliate. The station's original call letters were intended to honor the famous Mitchell Corn Palace.
In 1972, the station changed its calls to KXON-TV. In 1982, KXON and KSFY-TV switched affiliations, with KSFY getting ABC and KXON getting NBC. Soon afterward, KXON adopted its current calls, and the station eventually moved its main studio to Sioux Falls.
On September 8, 1998 KDLT activated a new tower and moved to channel 46. Channel 5 in Mitchell survives as a full-power satellite, KDLV. Due to the way the changeover was structured legally, the FCC considers KDLV to be the same station as the old KDLT.
