KCTU-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 43, is a digital low-power television station located in Wichita, Kansas, United States. The station is locally owned by River City Broadcasters, Inc. KCTU maintains studio facilities located on Douglas Avenue (near I-35/K-15) in southeastern Wichita, and its transmitter is located between St. Francis and South Commerce Streets in downtown Wichita. On cable, the station is available on AT&T U-verse channel 43. ==History== The station first signed on the air in 1992. On February 1, 1998, KCTU became the first commercial television station in the world to stream its programming online 24 hours a day to reach more viewers.〔''Wichita Business Journal'', February 16, 1998.〕 In 2001, KCTU affiliated with Pax TV (now Ion Television). Because of the local programming and other network affiliations carried by the station (including a secondary affiliation with Urban America Television that lasted until that network's shutdown in May 2006), the station did not air as many infomercials as most Pax/i/Ion affiliates. The station dropped the network in 2008. On May 10, 2007, the principal owners of KCTU through N&H Publishing Corp. announced the acquisition of the ''Wichita City Paper''. Planned topics will be similar to those featured on the local programs seen on the station including local and consumer news, religious topics and veterans' issues. The local television program guide that was formerly featured as an insert in ''The Prospector'', also began appearing in the ''City Paper''. In August 2010, the station was affiliated with Estrella TV, a Hispanic network. By June 2011, KCTU primary subchannel was pick up by AT&T Uverse.〔 Ron and Sheryl Nutt, owners, placed the station up for sale in July 2012 with a July 22 deadline for offers. In late July 2013, TV Scout was add to the station's 4th subchannel with some initial formatting glitches. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KCTU-LD」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
