KDTN (channel 2) is a religious television station licensed to Denton, Texas, United States, serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex as the flagship outlet of the Daystar Television Network. The station's studios are co-located with Daystar headquarters off SH 121 in Bedford, and its transmitter is located on Tar Road in Cedar Hill, just south of the Dallas–Ellis county line. It is operated separately from sister station KPTD-LP (channel 51) in Paris, Texas, which shares spectrum with full-power KDTN despite being licensed as a low-power station.
History
KIXL and KDNT
In 1948, Variety Broadcasting, owned by Lee Segall), which already had KIXL 1040 AM (now KGGR) and 104.5 KIXL-FM (now KKDA-FM) wanted to add a television station. Variety applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit to build a television station on VHF channel 2, which would have been KIXL-TV. However, the station was never granted, and ultimately never launched.
