History

The station’s construction permit was issued by the Federal Communications Commission on February 25, 2010 under the calls of W45DK-D. At that time, the station was originally licensed to Springfield, Illinois. The current WODK-LD callsign was adopted on March 28, 2016. [1]

DTV America relocated the station to the St. Louis area in late 2016, but the official city of license remains to be Springfield, Illinois temporarily. It then signed on in December of that year as the area’s Cozi TV affiliate. By January 2017, the station has been broadcasting seven subchannels, including bringing Decades, Heroes & Icons, and the 24/7 subchannel of the American Sports Network to the St. Louis market. Tuff TV and AMGTV was launched the same month. [3] With that, a total of 14 subchannels are offered over both of DTV America-owned stations in St. Louis, including those of sister station KBGU-LP.
