WDDN-LD (channel 23) is a low-power religious television station in Washington, D.C. , owned and operated by the Daystar Television Network . The station's transmitter is located on Brookville Road in Silver Spring, Maryland .

History [ edit ]

Communicasting Corporation signed on W42AJ on November 18, 1988, as the Washington market's first Telemundo affiliate. ^[1]^[2] When current affiliate W64BW (now WZDC-CD ) signed on late 1993, the two stations were recorded as both carrying the network's programming. ^[3]

The station, then known as WSIT-LP, was sold to Paxson Communications in 1996 and Capital Media in 1999. Capital Media assigned the famous callsign WKRP . WKRP-LP moved to channel 23 in 2003 in order to avoid interference from WVPY in Front Royal, Virginia . Daystar purchased the station in 2005. ^[4]
