KCWV (channel 27) is a religious television station in Duluth, Minnesota, United States, owned and operated by Tri-State Christian Television (TCT). The station's transmitter is located on the former KDLH tower on Duluth's Observation Hill.
History
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted George S. Flinn III a construction permit for the digital-only station on channel 27 on December 6, 2006. The station signed on November 30, 2009.
Flinn is a Memphis businessman who, until 2007, owned Ion Television affiliates WPXX-TV in Memphis and WPXL-TV in New Orleans.
At its start, KCWV was affiliated with My Family TV. Within a year after the station debuted, it affiliated with Legacy TV, a small Christian broadcasting network. Towards the end of 2012, the religious network rebranded from Legacy TV to The Walk TV. During late October 2013, KCWV changed affiliations again to AMGTV, a family-oriented television network.
On September 17, 2014, it was announced that KCWV would be off the air for a couple of months, as its tower was undergoing replacement. It returned to the air on September 21, 2015, from a new, shorter tower. Since that point it has continued to broadcast intermittently, having been off the air from a period of the spring of 2018 until coming back in May 2019, continuing to carry AMGTV. The station has never sold local commercial advertising.
On May 28, 2020, Flinn Broadcasting Corporation announced that it would sell KCWV, along with sister stations WWJX in Jackson, Mississippi, WBIH in Selma, Alabama, and WFBD in Destin, Florida, to Marion, Illinois–based Tri-State Christian Television for an undisclosed price. The sale was completed on September 15; the stations became owned-and-operated stations of the TCT network two days later.
