History

KCYU-LD signed on April 1, 1993 as K68EB, broadcasting as a repeater of Spokane's KAYU-TV (with inserts for local ads), but switched to KFFX-TV when that station signed on in January 1999.[1] The K68EB calls was changed to KCYU-LP on November 20, 1995 with KCYU-LP continuing to broadcast on channel 68.[2] Originally on channel 68, it moved to channel 41 in 2002. On December 15, 2008, KCYU-LP dropped analog broadcasting and converted to a high definition digital signal the same day.[3] On July 8, 2009 KCYU-LP changed the KCYU-LP call letters from KCYU-LP to the current KCYU-LD calls.[4]

On April 21, 2009, KCYU-LD began airing This TV on its digital subcarrier. This TV is also carried on Charter Cable channel 292.
