KEDD was a television station broadcasting on ultra high frequency (UHF) channel 16 in Wichita, Kansas, United States, that operated from August 15, 1953, to April 30, 1956. It was the first television station based in Wichita. The station's studios were located at 2815 East 37th Street North.
The start-up of two VHF stations in Wichita put KEDD at a disadvantage economically, spurring the station to file for bankruptcy in 1955. The second of these stations, KARD-TV, signed on as an independent, and NBC decided in early 1956 to move its programs there, signaling channel 16's demise.
