KDEV-LP, UHF analog channel 40, was a low-powered MeTV-affiliated television station licensed to Cheyenne, Wyoming, United States. The station was owned by Stratus Media Holdings.
History[edit]
A construction permit for a low-power station on channel 40 in Cheyenne was granted on March 15, 2004, and assigned the call sign K40HP; on October 4, the station's call sign was changed to KKTU-LP. On June 24, 2008, the station's call sign was changed to KDEV-LP.
The station carried ABC programming from KTWO-TV, the ABC affiliate in Casper, after equipment failure of KQCK's analog facilities on June 27, 2008.
In August 2009, KDEV-LP, K61DX in Laramie and K21CV in Rawlins were sold to Fusion Communications, after the bankruptcy of former owner Equity Media Holdings.[1][2][3]
In September 2009, ABC programming was moved to KLWY's 27.2 subchannel as a simulcast of KTWO. On September 15, 2010, KDEV (after being off the air for a year) reemerged as a MyNetworkTV affiliate. As of 2011, KDEV now carries MeTV.[4] In 2012, Fusion Communications was acquired by Stratus Media Holdings.[5] KDEV-LP left the air on September 28, 2012, in order to upgrade the station's equipment to a fiber-based system;[6] it never resumed broadcasting, and on September 26, 2013, Stratus returned its license to the Federal Communications Commission, which canceled it on September 30.[7]
