KTUD-CA (Channel 25 analog) is a low-powered, Class-A independent television station serving the Las Vegas, Nevada market owned and operated by Greenspun Broadcasting, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Greenspun Corporation. Unlike other low-powered television stations, it is available on Cox Communications channel 14.

History

After the Sinclair Broadcast Group acquired what was then known as KUPN (now KVMY) and switched the station's affiliation to WB Network in 1998, Las Vegas, Nevada was left without a UPN affiliate. The next year, a low power station, KCNG-LP, started broadcasting UPN on channel 25 (owned by Kong Broadcasting). After a series of ownership changes, Greenspun Broadcasting now owns the station.

On April 24, 2006, KTUD-CA announced that they were becoming an independent station, and not The CW as expected. The CW affiliation went to former independent KFBT, now KVCW.

KTUD-CA is low-powered, which means cable carriers are not bound by the FCC must-carry rule to carry KTUD on cable systems in the Las Vegas DMA. Cox Communications, the primary local cable company, currently carries the station on cable channel 14 after denying carriage of KCNG/KTUD for several years. DirecTV also carries KTUD with the other "Las Vegas locals". Dish Network currently does not carry KTUD.
