KZCS-LD (channel 18) is a low-power television station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States, airing programming from the digital multicast network Ion Mystery. It is owned by the E. W. Scripps Company alongside Pueblo-licensed NBC affiliate KOAA-TV (channel 5). KZCS-LD's transmitter is located on Cheyenne Mountain. Master control and most internal operations are based at the studios of ABC affiliate KMGH-TV (channel 7) on Delgany Street in Denver's River North Art District.[a]

History

[edit source]

The station signed on the air in 1994 on analog channel 38 as K38DM, a translator of KMGH-TV, then a CBS affiliate. It moved to channel 23 in 2003, changing its call sign to K23GJ. It assumed the KZCS-LP call sign in 2005, and became an Azteca América affiliate in 2013, relaying KMGH-TV's second digital subchannel. It switched to Escape (which later rebranded to Court TV Mystery, now Ion Mystery since 2022) in 2019, and flash-cut to digital in 2020.
