KACY (channel 14) was a television station licensed to Festus, Missouri, United States, which served the St. Louis area. One of the earliest UHF television stations in the country, KACY boasted of being the "most powerful new television station in the Middle West"[1] but was a near-immediate market failure, broadcasting from November 25, 1953, to April 2, 1954. The station unsuccessfully contended that a conspiracy by another St. Louis–area station had impeded it from carrying network programming.
