KQCK (channel 39) is a religious television station licensed to Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States, serving the Cheyenne and Denver, Colorado markets as an owned-and-operated station of the Christian Television Network (CTN). The station's studios are located on East Lincoln Way (near US 30) in Cheyenne, and its transmitter is located on Horsetooth Mountain, just outside Fort Collins, Colorado. KQDK-CD (channel 39) in Denver operates as a low-power, Class A digital translator of KQCK. History The station was originally assigned the call letters KDBJ when the station was first licensed by the Federal Communications Commission on August 14, 1985. The station first signed on the air on August 28, 1987 as KKTU. It originally operated as a satellite station of NBC affiliate KTWO-TV (channel 2, now an ABC affiliate) in Casper. As a result of KKTU's sign-on, Cheyenne became one of the last markets in the United States to receive full-time affiliations from the three major broadcast networks. Prior to 1987, NBC programming had been relegated to off-hours clearances on KGWN-TV (channel 5), although the network's Denver affiliate KCNC-TV (channel 4, now a CBS owned-and-operated station) had been available in the area on cable television for decades. For a time starting in 1995, KKTU (along with KTWO) had a secondary affiliation with The WB. On September 1, 2003, the NBC affiliation in Casper moved from KTWO to KCWY (channel 13). Although KTWO temporarily became an independent station at that time until it could acquire the ABC affiliation from KFNB (channel 20), KKTU was able to immediately switch to ABC; it began branding itself as "ABC 8," in reference to its channel placement on Cheyenne area cable systems. This made Cheyenne one of the last markets in the country to have an ABC affiliate. Before the switch, cable systems piped in Denver's ABC affiliate—first via KUSA-TV (channel 9), then from KMGH-TV (channel 7) following a three-way network affiliation switch that occurred on September 10, 1995. KMGH had actually operated a translator in Cheyenne since the late 1990s. On May 31, 2005, the station changed its call letters to KDEV, with plans on expanding its signal into the nearby Denver market. Indeed, it built its digital transmitter in Fort Collins, in the Denver market. On May 31, 2006, the Equity Broadcasting Corporation sold KTWO to Silverton Media. Equity retained ownership of KDEV, but entered into a local marketing agreement with Silverton to operate
