WODK-LD, virtual channel 45 (UHF digital channel 30), is a low-powered television station licensed to serve St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by HC2 Holdings, as part of a duopoly with KBGU-LD.[1]
It transmitter is located in northern Jefferson County, Missouri along Rock Creek Road off Missouri State Route 21.[2]
History[]
The station’s construction permit was issued by the Federal Communications Commission on February 25, 2010, under the calls of W45DK-D. At that time, the station was originally licensed to Springfield, Illinois. The current WODK-LD callsign was adopted on March 28, 2016.[1]
DTV America relocated the station to the St. Louis area in late 2016, although it was not licensed to serve St. Louis until January 5, 2021. It then signed on in December 2016 as the area’s Cozi TV affiliate. By January 2017, the station has been broadcasting seven subchannels, including bringing Decades, Heroes & Icons, the American Sports Network, Tuff TV, and AMGTV to the St. Louis market.[3] With that, a total of 14 subchannels are offered over both of DTV America-owned stations in St. Louis, including those of sister station KBGU-LP. At the start of 2018, the station lost their H&I, Decades and Movies! subchannels; the owner of those networks, Weigel Broadcasting, purchased KNLC (channel 24) in December 2017, and took control of the local rights to those networks unilaterally, replacing WODK-LD.
