Weigel Broadcasting, which operates numerous networks including Me-TV and H&I, is buying a longtime Class A TV station in central Iowa.
The deal filed with the FCC Thursday calls for Weigel’s TV-49, Inc. to pay MTN Broadcasting $195,000 for KDAO-CD (Marshalltown), which is within the Des Moines market. The station was most recently known to carry the Retro TV Network.
KDAO-CD has been on the air since 1987. It transmits with 1.8kW on RF channel 17, serving an area northeast of Des Moines, and is also carried on cable systems in the Marshalltown area.
The TV station will get a new callsign, with MTN retaining the exclusive right to use the KDAO callsign on its radio stations.
