History

ValueVision station ID for KUKC's predecessor, K29CF.

Logo introduced on the station's former website.

The station first signed on the air in 1989 as K29CF; it originally operated as an affiliate of the home shopping network ValueVision. To allow full-power outlet KCWB (channel 29, now KCWE) to sign on the air, the station relocated to UHF channel 48 in 1996, and changed its callsign to K48FS. It remained a ValueVision affiliate, however it also carried children's programming during the afternoon hours (such as The Flintstones and Mighty Max).

Station identification card in Equity era; all Equity Univision stations featured the same layout for their on-air IDs.

In 2004, the station was purchased by Equity Media Holdings. Shortly after it was finalized, in January 2005, the station became the market's Univision affiliate; reflecting this, its callsign was changed to KUKC-LP (for "Univision Kansas City").^[1] On December 8, 2008, Equity Media Holdings filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection;^[2] it then began to sell off its television station properties. KUKC was sold to SP Television on June 2, 2009.^[3] The sale closed on August 17, 2009.^[4] SP Television reached a deal to sell KUKC to Media Vista Group on December 21, 2012.^[5]
