History
The original construction permit to construct a low-power station on channel 17 in Branson was issued on March 3, 1993[1] and issued the call sign K17DL;[2] on May 16, 1994, original owner Lorianne Crook-Owens sold the station to GEP, Inc.[3] On July 26, 1999,[4] K17DL, along with K05JQ (channel 5, now defunct) and Springfield-based K15CZ (channel 15), was sold to Miller Family Broadcasting.[5] By this point, channel 17 had come on the air through a series of special temporary authority grants[6] and was simulcasting UPN programming with K15CZ; the station was fully licensed on January 14, 2002.[7] Miller sold K17DL and K15CZ to Schurz Communications, owner of KYTV, on March 14, 2002.[8][9] After UPN and The WB closed down to form The CW in 2006, K17DL and K15CZ affiliated with the new network.
On May 20, 2009,[10] Schurz sold a 49.9-percent interest in K17DL to Market Branson for $250,000;[11] following the sale, the station dropped all CW and K15CZ programming and began carrying tourist information.[12] The station also converted to digital television and began broadcasting in high definiton;[12] consequently, the call sign was modified to K17DL-D on May 29, 2009.[2] Schurz' remaining 50.1-percent interest in channel 17[11] is included in Gray Television's purchase of Schurz' television stations.[13]
