KDIT-CD (channel 45) is a low-power, Class A television station licensed to Des Moines, Iowa, United States, broadcasting the digital multicast network Catchy Comedy and four other Weigel networks. The station is owned by Weigel Broadcasting, and maintains a transmitter in Alleman, Iowa.

On July 29, 2021, it was reported that Weigel Broadcasting would purchase the then KDAO-CD for $200,000, pending approval of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The sale did not include the KDAO-CD call sign, which was retained by MTN Broadcasting.[2] The sale was completed on September 29;[3] and the callsign was changed to KDIT-CD on October 12.[4]

Subchannels

[edit]

The station's signal is multiplexed. CBS affiliate KCCI (channel 8) carries MeTV, Heroes & Icons and Story Television as subchannels under an existing contract between Weigel and KCCI's owner, Hearst Television (which does the same in many of its other markets).
