KPMF-LD (channel 26) is a low-power television station in Memphis, Tennessee, United States, affiliated with several digital multicast networks. It is owned by Innovate Corp. alongside WQEK-LD (channel 36). The two stations' transmitters are co-located on the WATN/WLMT tower off Brief Road in the Brunswick section of unincorporated northeast Shelby County.
History
Although granted a
While the first three subchannels remain dark, KPMF signed on virtual channel 26.4 in May 2016 as an affiliate of The Country Network (formerly Zuus Country).
In late June 2016, the station's first three subchannels went on the air as affiliates of Katz Broadcasting-operated
Escape and Laff were replaced by different networks in October 2016. GetTV was moved up to KPMF-LD2, and Comet, which is a joint venture between the MGM studio and Sinclair Broadcast Group was launched onto the LD3 subchannel, with Buzzr remaining on the LD4 subchannel. The main subchannel became a MyNetworkTV affiliate, with programming from the Doctor Television Channel being broadcast outside of MyNetworkTV's programming schedule. If the station launched on a transmitter within the home market of its city of license, KPMF would have been the Jonesboro market's first MyNetworkTV affiliate. For a time, Memphis also had access to a second MyNetworkTV affiliate, WLMT, a full-power CW affiliate that ran MyNetworkTV programming on its second subchannel along with most of the MeTV programming schedule; however, MyNetworkTV programming on that sub-channel was eventually dropped, leaving KPMF as the sole MyNetworkTV affiliate in Memphis until 2021.[2][3] Jonesboro eventually gained its own MyNetworkTV affiliate on September 3, 2018 when the LD3 subchannel of low-power dual Fox/CBS affiliate KJNB-LD/KJNE-LD picked up the programming service to supplement its own[4] MeTV programming.[5][6][7]
In January 2017, KPMF's DrTV affiliation on the main subchannel was replaced with AMGTV and, by 2018,
At an unknown time, Comet was replaced by infomercials (which also aired on a new seventh subchannel).
