Key Information
History
[edit]Communicasting Corporation signed on W42AJ on November 18, 1988, as the Washington market's first Telemundo affiliate.[1][2] When current affiliate W64BW (now WZDC-CD) signed on late 1993, the two stations were recorded as both carrying the network's programming.[3]
The station, then known as WSIT-LP, was sold to Paxson Communications in 1996 and Capital Media in 1999. Capital Media assigned the famous callsign WKRP. WKRP-LP moved to channel 23 in 2003 in order to avoid interference from WVPY in Front Royal, Virginia. Daystar purchased the station in 2005.[4]
