KTUD-CD

KTUD-CD, virtual channel 25.1 (digital channel 20), was an independent television station that served the Las Vegas, Nevada market owned and operated by Greenspun Broadcasting, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Greenspun Corporation. The station went dark and not broadcasting as of the evening of October 10, 2013 and is now defunct.

Unlike other low-powered television stations not connected to a full-power mother station, the station was available on channel 14 through Cox cable systems in the Las Vegas Valley.

The "-CD" suffix in the call letters denoted the station's status as a "Class A" digital television station, a slight upgrade from its previous "low power" (-LD) designation. The station's transmitter was located atop Mount Arden, 6 miles south of Henderson. Its studios and offices were located in unincorporated Paradise Valley, south of McCarran International Airport.

History

The Sinclair Broadcast Group acquired what was then known as KUPN (channel 21, now KVMY) and switched the station's affiliation to The WB in 1998 as part of a bulk affiliation deal, with a commiserate call change to KVWB. KFBT (now KVCW) at the other hand, was to affiliate UPN but did not sign a contract. In the interim, UPN programming was brought in out-of-market from either Los Angeles's KCOP or New York area station WWOR on Las Vegas area cable providers, leaving no local provider of the network over-the-air.
