History

The station began operations as K64DT on September 28, 1992. The station increased its power, changing its callsign to KDTL-LP in 2004 after being sold to Word of God Fellowship, Daystar's commercial license arm, to broadcast Daystar's programming. The station converted to digital operations at the end of 2011, and changed its callsign to KDTL-LD on January 5, 2012.

On May 9, 2022, it was announced that Daystar parent company Word of God Fellowship would sell KDTL-LD to Atlanta-based Gray Television, which had acquired KMOV the year previous after purchasing Meredith's broadcast division and its stations, for $1 million; [2] the sale was completed on July 1. [3]

As Daystar's programming has been carried by full-power station WPXS (channel 13) since it purchased the station in 2010, and the programming is duplicated in the inner core of St. Louis on in-market repeater KUMO-LD (channel 51), no arrangement to keep the network on the station was needed or made, and it currently broadcasts an automated feed of current weather conditions, forecasts and observations from KMOX's weather computers in high definition on its second subchannel (mapped to channel 4.7, using KMOV's channel position), while its main channel (mapped to 4.6) currently carries Corner Store TV, an all-paid programming network, in a transition period while Gray acquires programming to place on it with its former affiliated network Circle winding down at the end of 2023.
