KZCS-LD, virtual and UHF digital channel 18, is a low-power Court TV Mystery owned-and-operated television station licensed to Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States. Owned by the Cincinnati-based E. W. Scripps Company, it is a sister station to Pueblo-licensed NBC affiliate KOAA-TV (channel 5). KZCS-LD's transmitter is located on Cheyenne Mountain. Master control and most internal operations are based at the studios of ABC affiliate KMGH-TV (channel 7) on East Speer Boulevard in Denver's Congress Park neighborhood (the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) considers KMGH-TV as the parent license of KZCS-LD).

History[]

The station signed on the air in 1994 on analog channel 38 as K38DM, a translator of KMGH-TV, then a CBS affiliate. It moved to channel 23 in 2003, changing its call sign to K23GJ. It assumed the KZCS-LP call sign in 2005, and became an Azteca América affiliate in 2013, relaying KMGH-TV's second digital subchannel. It switched to Court TV Mystery in 2019, and flash-cut to digital in 2020.
