WQDI-LD, virtual channel 20 (UHF digital channel 21), is a low-powered Azteca América-owned-and-operated television station licensed to Canton, Ohio, United States and serving Northeastern Ohio. The station is owned by DTV America Corporation. All of WQDI's channels are duplicated on sister station KONV-LD (virtual channel 28, UHF digital channel 23).

History[]

The Federal Communications Commission issued the station's initial construction permit for W21DI-D on May 17, 2011. The current WQDI-LD call sign was adopted on December 4, 2015. The station signed on the air sometime in May 2016 as an Estrella TV affiliate on its main channel only one or two months after sister station WEKA-LD signed on.[1]

In April 2017, Cheddar started broadcasting over the air with DTV America affiliating five stations including WQDI with the network. Dunkin' Donuts, a Cheddar advertiser, was handing out free digital antennas at events in the stations' markets to publicize the over the air launch.[2]
