KUSE-LD
KUSE-LD, channel 46, is a low power translator station in Seattle, Washington owned by Mako Communications and is currently broadcasting Tuff TV.
History
On May 31, 1990 the FCC issued a construction permit to Breckenridge Broadcasting Co., Inc. bearing the call sign K58DP for channel 58 in Seattle. On February 20, 1998 the unbuilt translator station was sold to WI LPTV, Inc. By the end of 1998 K58DP had signed on the air broadcasting the ValueVision Network. On July 28, 2005 K58DP was sold to Equity Broadcasting Corp. and became KUSE-LP also on this date. KUSE-LP is licensed under EBC Seattle, Inc.
Previously, KUSE-LP had been broadcasting the ShopNBC Network, but as of May 31, 2007, it's confirmed to be rebroadcasting the KWDK broadcast.
As of September 30, 2008 KUSE-LP was confirmed to be broadcasting only a black screen and silent audio. It has been broadcasting an unmodulated carrier for several months.
The station ceased broadcasting on April 8, 2009 due to the economic difficulties that Equity has faced. [1].
KUSE was sold at auction to Mako Communications on April 16, 2009.[2]
On December 10, 2009 KUSE-LD has started their low power digital transmitter and broadcasting a test pattern. KUSE is multiplexed into 4 subchannels.
