K15CZ-D, UHF digital channel 15, is a CW-affiliated television station located in Springfield, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by Schurz Communications, and is a sister station to NBC affiliate KYTV (channel 3); Schurz also operates ABC affiliate KSPR (channel 33) under a shared services agreement with owner Perkin Media, LLC. All three stations share studio facilities located on West Sunshine Street in Springfield; K15CZ maintains transmitter facilities located on East Kearney Street (MO 744), near Doling Park. Syndicated programs broadcast by K15CZ include ''Law & Order: Special Victims Unit'', ''30 Rock'', ''Family Feud'', ''Castle'', ''Family Guy'', ''The Arsenio Hall Show'', ''The Andy Griffith Show'' and ''Steve Harvey''. K15CZ-D's low-powered digital broadcasting radius does not reach the entire market. Therefore, the station is simulcast over KSPR's second digital subchannel in order to reach the entire market. This signal can be seen on UHF channel 19.2 (or virtual channel 33.2 via PSIP) from a transmitter on Switchgrass Road, north of Fordland. The station uses the modified callsign "KCZ" (removing the channel number from the numbered-lettered calls) for station identification purposes (this is also used as the station identifier on DirecTV's program guide, while Dish Network identifies it as "KDL"). ==History== The station first signed on the air on March 15, 1990; it originally operated as an independent station. K15CZ formerly operated a repeater station, K17DL in Branson; in 2009, that station was transferred to Branson Visitors TV, LLC (a company in which Schurz holds a 50.1-percent interest) and now airs tourist information for the Branson area. The station became a charter affiliate of the United Paramount Network (UPN) when the network launched on January 16, 1995; the station changed its on-air branding to "UPN 15". In the late 1990s, K15CZ entered into a local marketing agreement with South Bend, Indiana-based Schurz Communications, owners of NBC affiliate KYTV (channel 3); Schurz eventually bought the station outright in 2002. On January 24, 2006, the Warner Bros. unit of Time Warner and CBS Corporation announced that the two companies would shut down The WB and UPN and combine the networks' respective programming to create a new "fifth" network called The CW.〔('Gilmore Girls' meet 'Smackdown'; CW Network to combine WB, UPN in CBS-Warner venture beginning in September ), CNNMoney.com, January 24, 2006.〕〔(UPN and WB to Combine, Forming New TV Network ), ''The New York Times'', January 24, 2006.〕 K15CZ became the Springfield market's CW affiliate when the network launched on September 18, 2006; Harrison, Arkansas-licensed KWBM (channel 31) became a charter affiliate of MyNetworkTV, which launched two weeks earlier on September 5 as a secondary replacement for The WB and UPN. In May 2006, the station obtained the website domain name, theozarkscw.com; this web address redirected to The CW's network website for a time until the station's website officially launched. Schurz announced on September 14, 2015 that it would exit broadcasting and sell its television and radio stations, including K15CZ-D, KYTV, and the SSA with KSPR, to Gray Television for $442.5 million. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「K15CZ-D, UHF digital channel 15, is a CW-affiliated television station located in Springfield, Missouri, United States.
