[edit]List of stations owned by Innovate Corp.
View on Grokipediafrom Grokipedia
Innovate Corp., a diversified holding company, owns and operates 251 television stations across the United States through its Spectrum segment and subsidiary HC2 Broadcasting, including 248 low-power (LPTV and Class A) and 3 full-power facilities, positioning it as the largest owner of low-power stations in the country as of September 2025.[1]
These stations primarily serve as over-the-air (OTA) distribution platforms, carrying approximately 1,700 channels from over 60 programming networks, and collectively hold more than 2.7 billion MHz POPs of broadcast spectrum.[2] The portfolio focuses on low-power and Class A licenses, with some full-power stations, enabling efficient spectrum utilization for multicast programming, including infomercials, ethnic content, and digital subchannels.[3]
HC2 Broadcasting, formerly part of HC2 Holdings before the company's rebranding to Innovate Corp. in 2021, has expanded its holdings through strategic acquisitions, emphasizing markets with high population density to maximize reach and revenue from network affiliations and advertising.[4] As of September 2025, the subsidiary operates 248 LPTV and Class A stations nationwide, supporting innovations like ATSC 3.0 (Next Gen TV) for enhanced data transmission and potential new revenue streams, including recent launches of three additional ATSC 3.0 stations in Q3 2025.[3][2][5]
The list of stations owned by Innovate Corp. catalogs these assets by call sign, facility ID, market, and affiliation details, highlighting their role in the fragmented U.S. broadcast landscape where low-power stations provide niche programming to underserved audiences.[2] This collection underscores Innovate's strategy in the Spectrum segment, which generated $5.7 million in revenue during the second quarter of 2025 and $5.6 million in the third quarter amid ongoing network launches, datacasting initiatives, and a strategic review for potential divestiture.[6][5]
Innovate Corp's 39 Class A stations, which retain their elevated status by fulfilling FCC mandates like airing at least three hours of locally produced content weekly, are strategically positioned in high-population DMAs to maximize subchannel revenue from third-party networks. Many were acquired via the 2017 DTV America transaction, bolstering Innovate's presence in urban markets and enabling carriage of diverse programming such as religious broadcasts, shopping channels, and ethnic content. Representative examples include KSKJ-CD (channel 2) in the Los Angeles DMA, airing multicultural subchannels including Vietnamese and Spanish-language services; WPVN-CD (channel 24) in Chicago, focused on independent films and urban entertainment; and KTLD-CD (channel 8) in Bakersfield, CA, with affiliations to 3ABN and other faith-based networks. These stations underwent FCC-approved upgrades in 2024-2025, including ATSC 3.0 compatibility tests in select markets to future-proof signal delivery.[21]
This selection illustrates the distribution across top and mid-sized DMAs, with most stations acquired during the 2017–2020 expansion phase and operating on UHF bands for efficient urban penetration. Coverage areas are estimated from FCC contour data and population metrics, emphasizing the stations' role in underserved pockets rather than broad-market dominance. No significant analog-to-digital conversions occurred in 2025, as all LPTV assets have been digital since 2010; however, ongoing FCC evaluations of ATSC 3.0 compatibility may influence future upgrades for enhanced datacasting capabilities.
Background
Innovate Corp Profile
Innovate Corp., formerly known as HC2 Holdings, Inc., traces its origins to a name change in April 2014 from PTGi Holding, Inc., though the underlying company was incorporated in 1994 as Primus Telecommunications Group, Inc.[7] The entity adopted the HC2 Holdings name under the leadership of Philip Falcone to reflect a shift toward diversified holdings, including manufacturing, marine services, and insurance. In September 2021, HC2 Holdings rebranded to Innovate Corp. to better align with its focus on infrastructure, life sciences, and spectrum-related businesses, marking a strategic evolution in its corporate identity.[8] Beginning in 2017, Innovate Corp (then HC2 Holdings) diversified into broadcasting through targeted acquisitions of low-power television (LPTV) stations, capitalizing on opportunities following the FCC's 2016 spectrum incentive auction where many full-power stations relinquished spectrum. This strategy emphasized building an extensive portfolio of LPTV and Class A stations, which are secondary to full-power affiliates but provide broad market coverage for digital multicast networks. By acquiring assets from entities like OTA Broadcasting and others, the company rapidly expanded its footprint in over-the-air broadcasting.[9] As of the first quarter of 2025, Innovate Corp holds approximately 256 operating television stations, predominantly low-power facilities, spanning more than 100 designated market areas (DMAs) across the United States.[10] This portfolio underscores the company's scale, reaching from major markets like New York to smaller ones such as Quincy, Illinois, and positions it as one of the largest owners of LPTV stations in the nation. The broadcasting operations are managed through subsidiaries including HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., and DTV America Corporation, which handle acquisition, construction, and operational aspects of the station group.[11]Broadcasting Operations
Innovate Corp.'s broadcasting operations encompass full-power television stations, Class A stations, and low-power television (LPTV) stations, each governed by distinct FCC regulations under Title 47 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Full-power stations transmit at higher effective radiated power levels—up to 1,000 kilowatts on UHF—serving as primary broadcast services with broad coverage areas and full interference protection rights, enabling them to carry major network affiliates and reach large populations. Class A stations, originally established by the 2000 Community Broadcaster Protection Act, operate at lower power (up to 15 kilowatts on UHF) but receive interference protections comparable to full-power stations; in exchange, they must adhere to rigorous operational requirements, including a minimum of 18 hours of daily broadcasting and an average of at least three hours per week of locally produced programming.[12] LPTV stations, by contrast, function as secondary services with even lower power limits (up to 15 kilowatts digital ERP on UHF but typically much less), providing localized or fill-in coverage without interference protection, allowing them to be displaced by primary users if necessary.[13] As of December 31, 2024, Innovate's portfolio includes three full-power stations, 53 Class A stations, and 200 LPTV stations, totaling 256 facilities.[14] The company's operational model emphasizes efficiency through centralized control via its Miami-based CentralCast facility, a master control hub that interconnects more than 200 stations for automated programming distribution, signal monitoring, and remote operations, thereby minimizing on-site personnel costs and enabling scalable management across the network.[15][16] This infrastructure supports the carriage of approximately 1,700 channels from over 60 programming networks, leveraging over-the-air (OTA) distribution to serve cord-cutters and content providers in a fragmented media landscape.[2] Compliance with FCC regulations is central to operations, particularly regarding spectrum allocation and station classifications. The 2017 broadcast incentive auction, which repacked the UHF band to free spectrum for wireless broadband, displaced numerous LPTV and Class A stations—including many in Innovate's early portfolio—necessitating channel relocations, equipment upgrades, or temporary cessations to avoid interference with full-power broadcasters, with the FCC providing reimbursements for eligible costs.[17][18] To sustain Class A designations, Innovate ensures its stations meet ongoing mandates for programming hours and public file reporting, avoiding reversion to unprotected LPTV status.[12] In 2025, the segment continued to pursue ATSC 3.0 enhancements and new OTA network contracts.[19] Innovate's stations span 113 designated market areas (DMAs) as of December 31, 2024, strategically positioned in urban hubs for high affiliate value and underserved rural or secondary markets to extend OTA access where traditional broadcasting infrastructure is limited.[14] This distribution enhances potential for network partnerships and audience reach, aligning with FCC goals for diverse local service.Current Stations
Full-Power and Class A Stations
Innovate Corp maintains a select portfolio of three full-power television stations and 39 Class A stations, which afford greater broadcast coverage and must adhere to enhanced Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requirements, such as minimum local programming quotas and public file disclosures, to ensure service to their communities. These holdings, comprising less than 17% of Innovate's total station count, were largely assembled through strategic acquisitions in the mid-to-late 2010s, including the 2017 merger with DTV America Corporation that delivered key Class A and full-power assets for expanded spectrum access and revenue potential via subchannel leasing. As of November 2025, all remain operational with ongoing FCC compliance, including recent filings for digital signal optimizations in response to post-repack spectrum reallocations.[20][21] The full-power stations operate at higher effective radiated power levels, enabling service to larger designated market areas (DMAs) and supporting multicast programming from national networks. They include:| Call Sign | Channel | DMA | Acquisition Date | Primary Affiliation/Subchannels |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| KEMO-TV | 50 | San Francisco-Oakland-San Jose, CA | 2018 (via Northstar Media acquisition) | Fubo Sports Network; subchannels include LATV, The Country Network, and infomercials |
| KCEB | 54 | Tyler-Longview-Nacogdoches, TX | 2017 (via DTV America merger) | Fubo Sports Network; additional subchannels such as Cozi TV and TBD |
| WOST | 16 | Puerto Rico | 2019 (from Corporate Media Consultants Group for $2.85 million) | Paid programming; subchannels feature networks like Shop LC and SonLife Broadcasting |
Low-Power Television Stations
Innovate Corp., through its subsidiary HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., maintains a portfolio of 214 low-power television (LPTV) stations as of the second quarter of 2025, representing the majority of its broadcasting assets and contributing to a total of 256 facilities. These stations operate under low-power digital authorizations from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and are designed to serve localized audiences in over 100 designated market areas (DMAs) across the United States, Puerto Rico, and U.S. territories, often filling gaps in coverage for subchannel programming distribution. Unlike full-power or Class A stations, LPTV facilities are secondary in priority for spectrum use and typically transmit at effective radiated powers below 15 kW, enabling cost-effective operations in urban, suburban, and rural niches. Many function as digital translators to extend signals or rebroadcast content, contributing to Innovate's overall over-the-air distribution platform that reaches approximately 60% of U.S. households.[22][23] The growth of this LPTV portfolio occurred primarily through strategic acquisitions between 2017 and 2020, allowing Innovate to achieve economies of scale by centralizing programming feeds, shared technical infrastructure, and bulk spectrum management across a national footprint. HC2 entered the LPTV space in July 2017 by acquiring a majority interest in DTV America Corporation, which owned and operated 52 LPTV stations in more than 40 markets, providing an initial foundation for expansion. Additional purchases followed, including 14 LPTV stations from Three Angels Broadcasting Network in October 2017, and individual or small-group acquisitions such as KSKT-CD in the San Diego market from NRJ TV San Diego License Co., LLC in February 2018. These deals, totaling over 180 stations during the period, enabled operational efficiencies, such as multicasting the same suite of networks on multiple outlets to reduce per-station costs and leverage ATSC 1.0 spectrum for subchannel revenue. By 2020, the portfolio stabilized near its current size, with no major bulk additions reported since. All stations have been fully converted to digital broadcasting since the FCC's 2009 digital transition deadline for LPTV facilities. In March 2025, HC2 petitioned the FCC to allow voluntary adoption of the 5G Broadcast standard for LPTV stations to enable enhanced datacasting capabilities.[20][24][25] The stations are grouped below by DMA for clarity, with details on call signs, virtual and physical channels, acquisition years (primarily 2017–2020), and estimated signal coverage areas based on FCC licensing data. Some operate as translators for affiliated networks or local content, enhancing regional reach without primary market dominance.

Former Stations
Sold or Transferred Stations
Innovate Corp, through its broadcasting subsidiary HC2 Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., has divested several television stations since 2020 as part of efforts to optimize its portfolio and reduce debt obligations. These transactions primarily involved full-power, Class A, and low-power stations (LPTV), often sold to larger broadcasters or local entities, allowing Innovate to focus on core LPTV operations and emerging technologies like 5G broadcasting. The sales reflect a strategic shift toward shedding higher-maintenance assets in favor of scalable, low-cost LPTV holdings that support subchannel leasing and datacasting opportunities.[33] A significant divestiture occurred in early 2021, when HC2 Station Group completed the sale of three full-power stations and one LPTV translator to TV-49, Inc., a subsidiary of Weigel Broadcasting Co., for $35 million on January 4, 2021. The stations included KAZD (channel 55, Dallas-Fort Worth, TX), KYAZ (channel 51, Houston, TX), and KMOH-TV (channel 6, Phoenix, AZ), along with the associated low-power translator KEJR-LD (channel 40, Phoenix, AZ). This transaction generated proceeds to reduce HC2 Broadcasting's debt while preserving its position as the largest U.S. operator of Class A and LPTV stations. Post-sale, Weigel integrated these outlets into its network, with KAZD and KYAZ now serving as affiliates for MeTV and other classic TV programming, enhancing over-the-air access to subchannels like Heroes & Icons and Start TV in their respective markets.[33][34] In March 2021, HC2 Broadcasting executed additional sales of LPTV licenses and construction permits to further streamline operations. On March 12, 2021, it transferred ten LPTV licenses to Gray Media Group, Inc., for a total of $475,000, including W33DH-D (Eau Claire-Wausau, WI), W23EF-D (Tallahassee, FL), K31PR-D (Tyler-Longview, TX), WDDY-LD (Jackson, TN), WHJK-LD (Jackson, TN), and W31EV-D (Wausau, WI), among others. Five days later, on March 17, 2021, six more LPTV licenses were sold to TV-49, Inc., for $145,333, encompassing WZDS-LD (Evansville, IN), W30EM-D (Orlando-Daytona Beach, FL), W32EQ-D (Birmingham, AL), and K20OO-D (Sacramento-Stockton, CA), with the remainder comprising similar low-power assets originally under DTV America. These deals targeted underperforming or undeveloped properties, enabling Gray and Weigel to expand their digital multicast offerings, such as local news and entertainment subchannels, in the acquired DMAs.[35] Subsequent transfers from 2021 onward included smaller-scale divestitures of LPTV construction permits to local groups and independent operators, often for nominal amounts to facilitate regulatory compliance and portfolio efficiency. For instance, in July 2021, HC2 sold the construction permit for K33QM-D (Grand Forks, ND) to Roseland Broadcasting, LLC, for $7,000, allowing the buyer to develop the facility for community-focused programming. Such transactions, totaling over 20 LPTV-related sales and permits as of 2021, aligned with Innovate's broader financial restructuring, including debt refinancing in 2023 and 2025, to prioritize investments in LPTV spectrum for next-generation broadcasting applications. No significant additional divestitures have been reported through November 2025. Under new ownership, these divested assets have generally continued operations, contributing to diverse OTA content in their markets without interruption.[36]| Station Call Sign | DMA/Market | Sale Date | Buyer | Sale Price |
