Drewry had planned to sell its stations to London Broadcasting in 2008[1]; however, by January 2009, the deal fell through.[2]

Digital subchannels

Drewry also operates independent station KZBZ on digital channel 10-2. Previously, KZBZ was UPN Amarillo, which launched to replace KCPN-LP as that network's affiliate. A digital subchannel of KVII-TV gained the affiliation for the new CW network, which merged the programming assets of both UPN and The WB, while KCPN affiliated with the News Corporation-owned MyNetworkTV.

KTMO-LP, the Telemundo affiliated station's digital signal, occupies channel 10-3.

KFDA's broadcasts became digital-only, effective June 12, 2009.[3]
