For the last part of its existence, it was owned by Baylor University. The station began in 1978, when Central Texas College's KNCT set up a low-powered translator on channel 34 in Waco. Until then, cable systems in the area piped in both KNCT and KERA-TV in Dallas, both of which are still available. After a long effort to bring a local PBS station to Waco, on May 22, 1989 it was upgraded to a full-powered station, KCTF, with the ability to produce local programming. In 1994, Central Texas College transferred control of KCTF to the Brazos Valley Broadcasting Foundation, a community group formed a year earlier. In 1999, Baylor took control of the foundation, changing the call letters to KWBU-TV a year later. In 2003, KWBU activated its digital signal on channel 20, becoming the first Central Texas station to air a digital signal. KWBU's analog transmitter was damaged in late January 2009. With the impending shutdown of analog broadcasting in the United States, the station opted to shut off its analog broadcasts and air solely in digital on February 3--two weeks before the other major stations in Central Texas went digital-only. However, through PSIP, the station's signal remapped to its former analog channel 34. In the Waco area, it aired on cable channel 4 on Time Warner Cable and Grande Communications. Contents 1 Funding problems and shutdown 2 Digital television 3 References 4 External links Funding problems and shutdown Due to funding problems, KWBU ceased local programming at the end of May 2010, resulting in some PBS programming, as well as all syndicated shows, being dropped from the station; it was replaced by a national PBS feed. All PBS programming ended by the end of June, with Create replacing PBS on 34.1. After June 30, KNCT took over KWBU's cable slots on Time Warner and Grande channel 4, and became available on DirecTV. KWBU remained on the air with a skeleton crew until going off the air entirely on July 31, 2010. The move came after KWBU-TV and its sister radio station, KWBU-FM, was unable to secure more funding from Baylor after exhausting a $1 million line of credit. For most of its history, the stations had suffered from low community support. Although Baylor has majority control of the Brazos Valley Broadcasting Foundation, the KWBU stations are still technically community licensees. However, the partnership with Baylor led to the perception that it was a "Baylor station," thus cutting into the community support needed to keep the station on the air. The stations only have a total of 1,600 members, a very low number even for a market of Waco's size and far lower than what station officials needed to keep channel 34 on the air. KWBU-FM was deemed less expensive to operate and will continue operations.[1][2][3] On May 31, 2011, the callsign for KWBU was changed to KDYW;[4] however, any sale or future plans for the station has yet to be revealed.
