KSDK
1979–1982
KSD-AM was sold in 1979, and KSD-TV modified its callsign to KSDK-TV on July 10, 1979, due to an FCC regulation in place at the time that stated that TV and radio stations in the same market, but different ownership had to use different call signs. The station took on a new logo to go with the callsign change.
