History

The station’s construction permit was issued by the Federal Communications Commission on February 25, 2010, under the calls of W45DK-D. At that time, the station was originally licensed to Springfield, Illinois. The current WODK-LD callsign was adopted on March 28, 2016.[1]

DTV America relocated the station to the St. Louis area in late 2016, but the official city of license remains to be Springfield, Illinois temporarily. It then signed on in December of that year as the area’s Cozi TV affiliate. By January 2017, the station has been broadcasting seven subchannels, including bringing Decades, Heroes & Icons, and the 24/7 subchannel of the American Sports Network to the St. Louis market. Tuff TV and AMGTV was launched the same month.[3] With that, a total of 14 subchannels are offered over both of DTV America-owned stations in St. Louis, including those of sister station KBGU-LP. At the start of 2018, the station lost their H&I, Decades and Movies! subchannels; the owner of those networks, Weigel Broadcasting, purchased KNLC (channel 24) in December 2017, and took control of the local rights to those networks unilaterally, replacing WODK-LD.

gollark: Books:- mostly used to refer to objects of bound paper with covers (covers can be various materials, often card/harder paper)- paper inside the book ("pages") typically contains information about a topic encoded as patterns of ink on them- topics can include someone's notes on a subject, or something intended for wider distribution/other people such as a story/set of stories ("fiction") which did not really occur, or true information ("non-fiction")- cover generally contains art related to the contents, as well as what the book is named ("title") and who wrote it ("author")- the back will often contain a "blurb" describing the contents somewhat, as well as potentially reviews by others
gollark: The inevitability of book is inevitably inevitable.
gollark: I think I've *told* Tux1 about them a few times, so it's their fault.
gollark: I agree completely. The inevitability of apioforms is inevitably inevitable.
