KSPJ-LP is a low-power independent television station in Pittsburg, Kansas, owned by Lamar Veasey. Although licensed for operation on UHF channel 59, it has been granted Special Temporary Authorization (STA) by the FCC to broadcast on channel 38 [ [http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/app_det.pl?Application_id=1080877 Special Temporary Authorization] , "FCC CDBS Database"] and has a construction permit to move operations to that channel.

History

The station was founded on July 26 2002 as K59HT with an original construction permit issued by the FCC to Trinity Broadcasting Network. [ [http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/cdbsmenu.hts?context=25&appn=100530651&formid=346&fac_num=129446 Original construction permit] , "FCC CDBS database"] In February 2005, before the station began broadcasting, Trinity sold the construction permit to Brady Broadcasting, who changed the station's call letters to KSPJ-LP in March 2005. The station went on the air July 22 2005, but immediately began causing problems, as its signal interfered with internet service from a local telephone co-op. [ [http://svartifoss2.fcc.gov/prod/cdbs/forms/prod/getattachment_exh.cgi?exhibit_id=326300 Interference notification] , "FCC CDBS database"] Being a secondary service, KSPJ-LP was forced to find another frequency or to cease operations. The station applied to move to channel 38 on July 27 2005 and then applied for an STA to operate on that frequency several days later. The FCC granted both requests, first the STA on August 24 2005 which cleared the way for the station to move immediately, then the construction permit on October 31 2005. On October 20 2005, Brady Broadcasting sold the station to Lamar Veasey, one of its agents.
