History
KUPT-LD has been on the air since late August 2014 airing both Movies! and GetTV. In early February 2015, H&I was added and became the main channel but in May it moved to channel 16.3 with Movies! returning to 16.1. On February 2, 2016, GetTV moved to CBS affiliate KRQE's second digital subchannel, and then later to KASY-TV channel 50.3 on January 14, 2017.[2]
On January 18, 2017, Ramar Communications took over the operations of KASA-TV a full powered station and former Fox network affiliate. Telemundo has replaced Fox on channel 2.1 while H&I was shown on channel 29.1 and Movies! on 33.1. Since then KUPT-LD has continued to air these channels as duplicates, however it now serves to provide additional Spanish-language programming remapped to 2.2.
The FCC spectrum auction which concluded on April 13, 2017, removes part of the UHF spectrum from channels 38–51 for television broadcast. KTFQ-TV was assigned the channel 16 position moving over from channel 42 as part of a spectrum repacking.[3] This displaced KUPT-LD which had to move to a different channel number to continue broadcasting. In 2019, it moved to digital channel 32 while remapping to virtual channels 2 and 16.
