KDMD (channel 33) is a television station in Anchorage, Alaska, United States, affiliated with Ion Television and MeTV. The station is owned by Bridge Media Networks, and maintains studios on East 66th Avenue near the Seward Highway in Anchorage; its transmitter is located in Eagle River.

History

[edit | edit source]

The station debuted on the air on October 1, 1989, with a mix of religious, classic TV and paid programming before joining Pax TV (the original name for Ion) in 1998. Today, it airs Ion and a variety of local programming. From 2002 to 2006, KDMD carried Seattle Mariners baseball via the Mariners Television Network.

In June 2007, the station began broadcasting Telemundo on a digital subchannel, making it the first Spanish-language broadcast station in Alaska. This affiliation ended in 2025.[when?]

On December 11, 2023, it was announced that Ketchikan TV would sell KDMD, sister station KTNL-TV in Sitka, and three low-power stations to Bridge News LLC, backed by entrepreneur Manoj Bhargava, for $2.4 million.[1] The sale was completed on March 12, 2024.[3]

Until 2010, KDMD-DT3 operated as a separate station on analog UHF channel 38 under the calls KACN-LP. On April 24, 2014, KDMD-DT3 became a MeTV affiliate.[4][5]
