Broadcasting 63kW of Effective Radiated Power from atop our tower in Haskell County, North-Northwest of Copeland, we cover more of Southwest Kansas than ever before.

If you tried to view our free over-the-air UHF digital signal before February 16, 2009 and had trouble, please try again, now that we’re transmitting at full-power, on a VHF channel.

Remember you’ll need either a DTV converter box, or a newer TV with a built-in ATSC tuner. The signal is on VHF RF channel 13. After your box, or TV, locks onto KUPK-DT the display will appear as 13.1, the virtual channel number.
