WQEK's low-power signal does not actually reach its city of license of Clarksdale, and it instead serves the inner core of the Memphis market, though unlike sister station Paragould, Arkansas-licensed KPMF-LD (which is licensed to a city in the Jonesboro, Arkansas market), Clarksdale is fully within the Memphis market. WQEK-LD and KPMF-LD's transmitters are co-located on the Tegna tower near Brunswick, Tennessee, in northern Shelby County.[1]

History

The station’s construction permit was granted by the Federal Communications Commission for the station as W18EK-D on October 2, 2012. The station’s call letters were changed to the current WQEK-LD on December 7, 2015. WQEK-LD finally took to the air in September 2016 as a Cozi TV affiliate. A total of eight subchannels were launched in its first months on the air, offering multiple digital networks.
