Public license information |
KCPM (channel 27) was a television station licensed to Grand Forks, North Dakota, United States, which served eastern North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. Owned by Chuck Poppen's Central Plains Media of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, it was last affiliated with MyNetworkTV. KCPM's transmitter was located on the Midco cable headend tower northwest of East Grand Forks, Minnesota.
The station's broadcast signal had only been on the air intermittently since 2014, with a local cable provider effectively acting as the station's engineer to retain a quality signal for its system.
KCPM operated as a semi-satellite of independent station KCPO-LP in Sioux Falls, although it aired separate commercials, station identifications and sometimes different syndicated programming due to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) market regulations and KCPM's MyNetworkTV affiliation. KCPM also claimed to carry Retro TV on their third digital subchannel since the summer of 2015.
On March 9, 2020, the FCC canceled KCPM's license and deleted its call sign for failure to transmit from authorized facilities for the past 12 months, along with allegations it had never properly acquired or reported a new transmitter site after December 2014, nor logged their programming and operations.[2]
