KDCU-DT (channel 46) is a

Denver, Colorado.[citation needed] KDCU-DT's transmitter is located in rural northwestern Sedgwick County (north-northeast of Colwich
).

History

Original KDCU logo, used from August 20, 2009, to December 31, 2012.

The station first signed on the air on August 20, 2009,[2] becoming the first (and so far only) full-power Spanish-language television station to sign on in the state of Kansas;[3][4] because it signed on after the June 12 digital television transition that year, KDCU was also the first full-power television station in the Wichita–Hutchinson Plus market to sign-on without a companion analog signal.

Prior to the station's sign-on, on February 15, 2008, Entravision entered into a

KWCH 12 Tower. Since KDCU is licensed as a full-power station, it is able to mandate carriage on cable and satellite
providers in the Wichita–Hutchinson Plus market.

Previous logo from January 1, 2013, until mid-2019. This logo is still in use, just as a Horizontal version of the current logo and the CGI effects are exchanged with more 2D effects.

Schurz announced on September 14, 2015, that it would exit broadcasting and sell its television and radio stations, including KWCH-DT, KSCW-DT, and the JSA/SSA with KDCU-DT, to Gray Television for $442.5 million.[5][6] The FCC approved the sale on February 12, 2016.[7]

As of 2021, Entravision now both owns and operates KDCU-DT, as Gray sold its operation stake in the station.[8]

News operation

KDCU-DT presently broadcasts 2+12 hours of locally produced newscasts each week (with a half-hour each weekday); the station does not air newscasts on Saturdays or Sundays. In April 2011, KWCH produced a half-hour nightly Spanish-language newscast for KDCU, Noticias Univision Kansas, airing at 10 p.m. each weeknight (which competed against KWCH's own local newscast in that timeslot).[9] Since Entravision acquired full shares of KDCU, the newscasts are now self-produced.
