Perspective
The station debuted on the air on October 1, 1989, with a mix of religious, classic TV and paid programming before joining Pax TV (the original name for Ion) in 1998. Today, it airs Ion and a variety of local programming. From 2002 to 2006, KDMD carried Seattle Mariners baseball via the Mariners Television Network.
In June 2007, the station began broadcasting Telemundo on a digital subchannel, making it the first Spanish-language broadcast station in Alaska. This affiliation ended in 2025.[when?]
On December 11, 2023, it was announced that Ketchikan TV would sell KDMD, sister station KTNL-TV in Sitka, and three low-power stations to Bridge News LLC, backed by entrepreneur Manoj Bhargava, for $2.4 million.[1] The sale was completed on March 12, 2024.[3]

KDMD-DT3 (branded MeTV Alaska) is the MeTV-affiliated third digital subchannel of KDMD, broadcasting in standard definition on channel 33.3.
