2009, regardless of whether digital facilities are operational by that date. The station will file authority to remain silent if so required by the FCC." While the DTV Delay Act extended this deadline to June 12, 2009, Equity applied for an extension of the digital construction permit, in order to retain the broadcast license in case the station went dark. Fusion Communications was able to build a temporary digital site near Walker to meet the deadline. At the end of analog broadcasting on June 12, 2009, KWWF transitioned from the old Equity facility to Fusion's Iowa master control facility and continued to provide a signal to cable systems. Thereafter, KWWF was affiliated with Untamed Sports TV. KWWF's satellite feed was still available on Anik F3 C-Band as of November 2010. Although the station transmitted in 720p, Untamed Sports never maintained a high definition programming feed and all programming on the station was carried in standard definition. In 2012, Fusion Communications was acquired by Stratus Media Holdings. KWWF ceased broadcasting on August 2, 2013, due to financial difficulties. On August 8, 2013, the station's owners filed a Notification of Suspension of Operations / Request for Silent STA with the FCC. On March 14, 2014, Stratus surrendered KWWF's license to the Federal Communications Commission, which canceled the license a week later.
